Factorize each of the following polynomials.
2x3 – 9x2 + 7x + 6
Given,
2x3 – 9x2 + 7x + 6,
put x = 2
Then, 16 – 36 + 14 + 6 = 0
since, this equation is divisible by (x – 2).
according to the question,
2x3 – 9x2 + 7x + 6 = (x – 2)(2x2 – 5x – 3)
= (x – 2)[2x2 – 6x + x – 3]
= (x – 2)[2x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3)]
= (x – 2)(x – 3)(2x + 1)
