Question

chech whether (x-1) is a factor of the following polynomial 2x^3-5x^2+x+2​

Answer 1

HEY MATE!

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge \purple{ \mathfrak{hola \: mate}}$

we know that,

if a g(x) is a factor of p(x) then the value of x from g(x) obtained by equating it with zero should be equal to 0

so for x-1

x-1=0

x=1

so x=1 should satisfy the given polynomial if it is a factor

so,

2(1)³-5(1)²+1+2

2-5+1+2

5-5

0
