Question

check whether (x-1)is a factor of x cube minus 2 X square + 3 x minus 6

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Question : Check whether (x-1)is a factor of x³ - 2x² + 3x - 6

Solution : Use Factor Theorem

a. x-1 = 0

   x = 1

b. 1³ - 2(1)² + 3(1) - 6   [ Substitute x with 1 ]

=  1 - 2 + 3 - 6 = -4   [ Since its not equal to 0, its not a factor ]

Therefore (x-1) is not a factor of x³ - 2x² + 3x - 6
