What is the completely factored form of f(x) = x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6?

A. f(x) = (x + 2)(x – 3)(x + 6)
B. f(x) = (x + 2)(x – 3)(x – 6)
C. f(x) = (x – 2)(x + 3)(x – 1)
D. f(x) = (x + 2)(x – 3)(x – 1)

Respuesta :

ur answer is D ;) ur welcome

Answer:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-2x^2-5x+6[/tex]

Factorizing the above equation, we have

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x^2-x-6)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x^2-3x+2x-6)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x(x-3)+2(x-3))[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(x+2)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=(x+2)(x-3)(x-1)[/tex]

which is the required factorized form.

Thus, option D is correct.
