Question

x^3 – 5x² - x +5. Answer it​

Answer 1

Answer:

To factorise?

p(x) = x³ - 5x² - x + 5

By hit and trial, you'll get x = 1 makes polynomial 0.

So, (x - 1) is a factor.

Now, divide p(x) by (x - 1).

You can use synthetic division.

See image.

Then, you'll get:

(x - 1) (x² - 4x - 5)

Now, factorise it further.

(x - 1)(x² + x - 5x - 5)

( x - 1 ) ( x+ 1 ) ( x - 5 )
