show that (x-2) and (x-3) are factor of p(x)=x³-3x²-10x+24
Answers
Step by step explanation:-
Correct question:-
show that (x-2) and (x+ 3) (x -4) are factors of p(x)=x³-3x²-10x+24
We have to show that (x-2) & (x-3) are factors for
x³ -3x² -10x +24
If we substuite The given factors of cubic equation it should be equal to 0
So,
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Substuite x =2 in Given cubic equation
x³ - 3x² -10x + 24
(2)³ - 3(2)² -10 (2) + 24
8 - 12 -20 +24
24 + 8 - 32
32 -32
0
Hence (x-2) is a factor
___________________
Now,
x + 3 = 0
x = -3
Substuite x = -3 in given cubic equation
x³ - 3x²-10x+24
(-3)³ - 3(-3)² -10(-3) +24
-27 -27 +30+24
-54 +54
0
Hence (x +3) is a factor
___________________
(x -4 ) =0
x -4 =0
x = 4
Substuite x =4 in given cubic equation
x³ -3x² -10x +24
(4)³ - 3 (4)² -10(4) +24
64-48-40+24
88-88
0
Hence (x-4) is a factor
___________________
So, we can say that (x-2) &(x+3)&(x-4) are factors of given cubic equation
