How do I prove (x-2) is a factor of the function f(x) = x^2-4x+4?

First equate the factor to equal 0 then solve:x -2= 0;x = 2;
now plug the number 2 into all the X values:
(2)^2-4(2) + 4 = 8-8 = 0

The point P lies on the curve C: y=f(x) where f(x)=x^3-2x^2+6x-12 and has x coordinate 1. Find the equation of the line normal to C which passes through P.


Differentiate x^3 + 6x + 1


find the integral of y=x^2 +sin^2(x) with respect to x between the limits 0 and pi


differentiate (1+2x^2)^(1/2)
