Answer:
the factors of f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factorise the function
If a number is a factor of this function than it must be completely divisible by last co-efficient. Our last co-efficient is -50
Checking few numbers:
So, f(2)=0 which means x-2 is a factor of the given function. Now we will perform long division of by (x-2) to find other factors
The long division is shown in figure attached.
After long division we get:
The equation can be further simplified as: (x+5)(x+5) or (x+5)^2
So, the factors of f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)
