factorise x3-3x3-9x-5 into linear factors note 2nd term is 3 x square
Answers
Answer: x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
We have p(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
By trial, let us find:
p(1) = (1)3 – 3(1)2 – 9(1) –5
= 3 – 3 – 9 – 5
= –14 ≠ 0
Now p(–1) = (–1)3 – 3(–1)2 – 9(–1) –5
= –1 – 3(1) + 9 – 5
= –1 – 3 + 9 – 5 = 0
∴ By factor theorem, [x – (–1)] is a factor of p(x).
Now,
x3-3x2-9x-5/x-(-)=x2-4x-5
∴ x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1)(x2 – 4x – 5)
= (x + 1)[x2 – 5x + x – 5]
[Splitting –4 into –5 and +1]
= (x + 1)[x(x – 5) +1(x – 5]
= (x + 1)[(x – 5) (x + 1)]
= (x + 1)(x – 5)(x + 1)
