Question

factorise
x^3 +4^2-11-30​

Answer 1

Sorry, I don't know to answer.

Answer 2

Since the sum of the coefficients is not zero, 1 is not a root

Let x = -2

⇒ -8 + 16 + 22 – 30 = 0

∴ -2 is or (x + 2) is a factor

Dividing x3 + 4x2 – 11x – 30 by (x + 2)

Quotient = x2 + 2x – 15

⇒ x2 + 5x – 3x – 15 = 0

⇒ x (x + 5) – 3 (x + 5) = 0

⇒ (x – 3) (x + 5) = 0

Other factors are (x – 3) and (x + 5)

∴ (x + 2), (x – 3) and (x + 5) are the roots of the equation
