Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Though it is cubic we have to find first root by hit and trial.
On doing this we get x=1 satisfy the equation
So( x-1)is the factor.
Thank you

f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6
Let us put f(1) in the polynomial
therefore
= (1)³ - 6(1)² + 11(1) - 6
= 1 - 6 + 11 - 6
= 0
On putting x = 1 we got remainder 0 , that means (x - 1) is a factor of f(x).
For other factors , we will divide f(x) by (x - 1)
∴ we get quotient g(x) = x² - 5x + 6
Factorising g(x)
= x² - 5x + 6
= x² - 3x - 2x + 6
= x( x - 3 ) - 2(x - 3)
= ( x - 3 ) ( x - 2 )
Hence, all the factors of f(x) = (x - 1)( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 )
