MCQ
$(x + 1)$ is a factor of $x^n +1 $ only if.
  • A
    $N$ is a negative integer.
  • $N$ is an odd integer.
  • C
    $N$ is an even integer.
  • D
    $N $ is a positive integer.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$N$ is an odd integer.

 The linear polynomial $(x - 1)$ is a factor of $xn + 1,$ only if,
$f(-1) = (-1)^n+ 1 = 0$ 
If n is odd integer, then $f(-1) = -1 + 1 = 0$
