Question

x minus 1 is a factor of the polynomial p x is equal to x cube minus 2 x square - x + 2 is it true or false​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find zero of the factor (x - 1)

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

Put x = 1 in the given equation ,

x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2

(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - (1) + 2

= 1 - 2 - 1 + 2

= 0

Therefore, (x-1) is the factor of p(x).
