<h2>Solution :</h2>

  • 2x³ - x² + x - 2

put x = 1,

  • 2•(1³) - 1² + 1 - 2

  • 2 - 1 + 1 - 2

  • 0

it's value is 0.

hence, it's a solution

divide 2x³ - x² + x - 2 by (x - 1)

  • 2x² + x + 2

it can be written as :

  • (x - 1)(2x² + x + 2)

Answer:

(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize:

f(x)=2x^3-x^2+x-2

<u>Factor Theorem</u>

If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

Substitute x = 1 into the function:

\implies f(1)=2(1)^3-1^2+1-2=0

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.

As the polynomial is cubic:

\implies  f(x)=(x-1)(ax^2+bx+c)

Expanding the brackets:

\implies  f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx-ax^2-bx-c

\implies  f(x)=ax^3+(b-a)x^2+(c-b)x-c

Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:

\implies ax^3=2x^3 \implies a=2

\implies (b-a)x^2=-x^2 \implies b-2=-1 \implies b=1

\implies -c=-2 \implies c=2

Therefore:

\implies  f(x)=(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)

Cannot be factored any further.

A student says that the x-intercept of the graph of × + 2y =5 is the point (0,5). Is the student correct or incorrect? Explain y
ivanzaharov [21]

The student is incorrect, the actual x-intercept is (5, 0).

<h3>Is the student correct or incorrect?</h3>

Here we have the equation:

x + 2y = 5

The student says that the x-intercept is the point (0, 5).

So if you look at the point you already can see that the student is incorrect, this is because the x-intercept always must have a y-value of 0. (the graph only intercepts the x-axis when y = 0).

So the point (0, 5) can't be an x-intercept.

For the given function:

x +2y = 5

The x-intercept is given by:

x + 2*0 = 5

x = 5

So it is (5 , 0).
