Factorize each of the following polynomials.
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
Given,
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20,
put x = – 1
then, – 1 + 13 – 32 + 20 = 0
since, this equation is divisible by (x + 1).
according to the question,
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 = (x + 1)(x2 + 12x + 20)
= (x + 1)[x2 + 10x + 2x + 20]
= (x + 1)[x(x + 10) + 2(x + 10)]
= (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10)
