Step-by-step explanation:
if (x-1) is a factor of the given polynomial...then x=1 would be a zero of the given polynomial so let's test it ...
put x=1 in equation...
thus x-1 is a factor of the given polynomial....
to find rest zeros we have to divide the factor from the given polynomial....the division has been shown in the file above please refer to it....
so we get the polynomial x²-6x+9 after division....after factorising it....
so the factors are x=3,3,1

Show that (x-1) is a factor of x^3-7x^2+15x -9
So, x=1
=>x^3-7x^2+15x-9
=>(1)^3-7(1)^2+15(1)-9
=>1-7+15-9
=>16-16
=>0
Therefore, (x-1) is a factor of x^3-7x^2+15x -9. =>x^3-7x^2+15x-9=(x-1)(x^2-6x+9)
=>(x-1)(x^2-3x-3x+9)
=>(x-1)(x(x-3)-3(x-3))
=>(x-1)(x-3)(x-3)
=>(x-1)(x-3)^2
