Which one of the following is ax3- 19x + 30 ? |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: In f(x) putting x=±1, ±2, ±3, we see for which value of x, f(x)=0 f(−2)=(−2)3−19.(−2)+30=0 We observe that f(−2) = 0 From factor THEOREM, we can SAY, (x+2) is a factor of f(x) x3 – 19x – 30 = x3 – 19x – 30 = x3+2x2−2x2−4x−15x −30 = x2(x+2)−2x(x+2)−15(x+2) = (x+2)(x2−2x−15) = (x+2)(x2−5x+3x−15) = (x+2)( x(x−5) + 3(x−5) ) = (x+2)(x−5)(x+3) |
