Using factor theorem, factorize of the polynomials:
x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6
Given polynomial, f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6
The constant term in f(x) is 6
The factors of 6 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 6
Let, x + 1 = 0
=> x = -1
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(-1) = (−1)3 + 6(−1)2 + 11(−1) + 6
= - 1 + 6 - 11 + 6
= 12 – 12
= 0
So, (x + 1) is the factor of f(x)
Similarly, (x + 2) and (x + 3) are also the factors of f(x)
Since, f(x) is a polynomial having a degree 3, it cannot have more than three linear factors.
∴ f(x) = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
=> x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6 = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
Substitute x = 0 on both the sides
=> 0 + 0 + 0 + 6 = k(0 +1)(0 + 2)(0 + 3)
=> 6 = k(1*2*3)
=> 6 = 6k
=> k = 1
Substitute k value in f(x) = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
=> f(x) = (1)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
=> f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
∴ x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6 = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
x3 + 2x2 – x – 2
Given, f(x) = x3+ 2x2 – x – 2
The constant term in f(x) is -2
The factors of (-2) are ±1, ± 2
Let, x – 1 = 0
=> x = 1
f(1) = (1)3 + 2(1)2 – 1 – 2
= 1 + 2 – 1 – 2
Similarly, the other factors (x + 1) and (x + 2) of f(x)
∴ f(x) = k(x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1 )
x3 + 2x2 – x – 2 = k(x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1 )
0 + 0 – 0 – 2 = k(-1)(1)(2)
=> – 2 = - 2k
Substitute k value in f(x) = k(x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1)
f(x) = (1)(x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1)
=> f(x) = (x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1)
So, x3 + 2x2 – x – 2 = (x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1)
x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
Let, f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
The constant term in f(x) is 10
The factors of 10 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 5, ± 10
f(-1) = (−1)3- 6(−1)2 + 3(−1) + 10
= -1 – 6 – 3 + 10
Similarly, the other factors (x – 2) and (x – 5) of f(x)
∴ f(x) = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
Substitute x = 0 on both sides
=> x3– 6x2 + 3x + 10 = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
=> 0 – 0 + 0 + 10 = k(1)(-2)(-5)
=> 10 = k(10)
Substitute k = 1 in f(x) = k(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
f(x) = (1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5 )
so, x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10 = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
x4 –7x3 + 9x2 + 7x –10
Given, f(x) = x4–7x3 + 9x2 + 7x – 10
The factors of 10 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 5, ±10
f(x) = 14 – 7(1)3 + 9(1)2 + 7(1) – 10
= 1 – 7 + 9 + 7 – 10
= 10 – 10
(x – 1) is the factor of f(x)
Similarly, the other factors are (x + 1), (x – 2), (x – 5)
Since, f(x) is a polynomial of degree 4. So, it cannot have more than four linear factor.
So, f(x) = k(x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
=> x4 –7x3 + 9x2 + 7x – 10 = k(x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
Put x = 0 on both sides
0 – 0 + 0 – 10 = k(-1)(1)(-2)(-5)
– 10 = k(-10)
Substitute k = 1 in f(x) = k(x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
f(x) = (1)(x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
= (x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)
So, x4 – 7x3 + 9x2 + 7x – 10
x4 – 2x3 – 7x2 + 8x + 12
Given,
f(x) = x4 – 2x3 –7x2 + 8x + 12
The constant term f(x) is equal is 12
The factors of 12 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 6, ± 12
f(-1) = (−1)4 – 2(−1)3–7(−1)2 + 8(−1)+12
= 1 + 2 – 7 – 8 + 12
So, x + 1 is factor of f(x)
Similarly, (x + 2), (x – 2), (x – 3) are also the factors of f(x)
Since, f(x) is a polynomial of degree 4, it cannot have more than four linear factors.
=> f(x) = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x – 3)(x – 2)
=> x4 – 2x3 –7x2 + 8x + 12 = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x – 3)(x – 2)
Substitute x = 0 on both sides,
=> 0 – 0 – 0 + 12 = k(1)(2)(- 2)(- 3)
=> 12 = 12K
Substitute k = 1 in f(x) = k(x – 2)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x – 3)
f(x) = (x – 2)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x – 3)
so, x4 – 2x3 – 7x2 + 8x + 12 = (x – 2)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x – 3)
x4 + 10x3 + 35x2 + 50x + 24
Given, f(x) = x4 + 10x3 + 35x2 + 50x + 24
The constant term in f(x) is equal to 24
The factors of 24 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 6, ± 8, ± 12, ± 24
f(-1) = (-1)4 + 10(-1)3 + 35(-1)2 + 50(-1) + 24
= 1-10 + 35 - 50 + 24
=> (x + 1) is the factor of f(x)
Similarly, (x + 2), (x + 3), (x + 4) are also the factors of f(x)
=> f(x) = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
=> x4 + 10x3 + 35x2 + 50x + 24 = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
=> 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 24 = k(1)(2)(3)(4)
=> 24 = k(24)
Substitute k = 1 in f(x) = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
f(x) = (1)(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
hence, x4 + 10x3 + 35x2 + 50x + 24 = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
2x4–7x3–13x2 + 63x – 45
Given, f(x) = 2x4–7x3–13x2 + 63x – 45
The factors of constant term - 45 are ± 1, ± 3, ± 5, ± 9, ± 15, ± 45
The factors of the coefficient of x4 is 2. Hence possible rational roots of f(x) are
± 1, ± 3, ± 5, ± 9, ± 15, ± 45, ± 1/2, ± 3/2, ± 5/2, ± 9/2, ± 15/2, ± 45/2
f(1) = 2(1)4 – 7(1)3 – 13(1)2 + 63(1) – 45
= 2 – 7 – 13 + 63 – 45
Let, x – 3 = 0
=> x = 3
f(3) = 2(3)4 – 7(3)3 – 13(3)2 + 63(3) - 45
= 162 – 189 – 117 + 189 – 45
So, (x – 1) and (x – 3) are the roots of f(x)
=> x2 – 4x + 3 is the factor of f(x)
Divide f(x) with x2 – 4x + 3 to get other three factors
By long division,
2x2 + x – 15
x2 – 4x + 3 2x4 – 7x3 – 13x2 + 63x – 45
2x4 – 8x3 + 6x2
(-) (+) (-)
x3 – 19x2 + 63x
x3 – 4x2 + 3x
-15x2 + 60x - 45
(+) (-) (+)
0
=> 2x4 – 7x3 – 13x2 + 63x – 45 = (x2– 4x + 3) (2x2+ x – 15)
=> 2x4 - 7x3– 13x2 + 63x – 45 = (x – 1) (x – 3) (2x2+ x – 15)
Now,
2x2 + x – 15 = 2x2 + 6x – 5x –15
= 2x(x + 3) – 5 (x + 3)
= (2x – 5) (x + 3)
So, 2x4 – 7x3 – 13x2 + 63x – 45 = (x – 1)(x – 3)(x + 3)(2x – 5)
3x3 - x2 – 3x + 1
Given, f(x) = 3x3 - x2 – 3x + 1
The factors of constant term 1 is ± 1
The factors of the coefficient of x2 = 3
The possible rational roots are ±1, 1/3
f(1) = 3(1)3 - (1)2 - 3(1) + 1
= 3 – 1 – 3 + 1
So, x – 1 is the factor of f(x)
Now, divide f(x) with (x – 1) to get other factors
By long division method,
3x2 + 2x – 1
x – 1 3x3 – x2 – 3x + 1
3x3 – x2
(-) (+)
2x2 – 3x
2x2 – 2x
- x + 1
(+) (-)
=> 3x3- x2 – 3x + 1 = (x – 1)( 3x2 + 2x – 1)
3x2 + 2x -1 = 3x2 + 3x – x - 1
= 3x(x + 1) -1(x + 1)
= (3x – 1)(x + 1)
Hence, 3x3- x2- 3x + 1= (x – 1) (3x – 1)(x + 1)
x3- 23x2 + 142x - 120
Let, f(x) = x3- 23x2 + 142x - 120

Let, x - 1 = 0
f(1) = (1)3- 23(1)2 + 142(1) - 120
= 1 - 23 + 142 - 120
So, (x – 1) is the factor of f(x)
x2 – 22x + 120
x – 1 x3 – 23x2 + 142x – 120
x3 – x2
- 22x2 + 142x
- 22x2 + 22x
120x – 120
=> x3 – 23x2 + 142x – 120 = (x – 1) (x2 – 22x + 120)
x2 – 22x + 120 = x2 – 10x – 12x + 120
= x(x – 10) – 12(x – 10)
= (x – 10) (x – 12)
Hence, x3 – 23x2 + 142x – 120 = (x – 1) (x – 10) (x – 12)
y3 – 7y + 6
Given, f(y) = y3 – 7y + 6

Let, y – 1 = 0
=> y = 1
f(1) = (1)3 – 7(1) + 6
= 1 – 7 + 6
So, (y – 1) is the factor of f(y)
Similarly, (y – 2) and (y + 3) are also the factors
Since, f(y) is a polynomial which has degree 3, it cannot have more than 3 linear factors
=> f(y) = k(y – 1)( y – 2)(y + 3)
=> y3 – 7y + 6 = k(y – 1)( y – 2)(y + 3) —– 1
Substitute k = 0 in eq 1
=> 0 – 0 + 6 = k(-1)(-2)(3)
y3 – 7y + 6 = (1)(y – 1)( y – 2)(y + 3)
y3 – 7y + 6 = (y – 1)( y – 2)(y + 3)
Hence, y3–7y + 6 = (y – 1)( y – 2)(y + 3)

=> x = - 1
f(-1) = (−1)3 –10(−1)2 – 53(−1) – 42
= -1 – 10 + 53 – 42
So., (x + 1) is the factor of f(x)
Now, divide f(x) with (x + 1) to get other factors
x2 – 11x – 42
x + 1 x3 – 10x2 – 53x – 42
x3 + x2

- 42x – 42
=> x3 – 10x2 – 53x – 42 = (x + 1) (x2 – 11x – 42)
x2 – 11x – 42 = x2 – 14x + 3x – 42
= x(x – 14) + 3(x – 14)
= (x + 3)(x – 14)
Hence, x3 – 10x2 – 53x – 42 = (x + 1) (x + 3)(x – 14)
y3 – 2y2 – 29y – 42
Given, f(x) = y3 – 2y2 – 29y – 42
The factors of -42 are ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 6, ± 7, ± 14, ± 21,± 42
Let, y + 2 = 0
=> y = – 2
f(-2) = (−2)3 – 2(−2)2–29(−2) – 42
= -8 -8 + 58 – 42
So, (y + 2) is the factor of f(y)
Now, divide f(y) with (y + 2) to get other factors
By, long division
y2 – 4y – 21
y + 2 y3 – 2y2 – 29y – 42
y3 + 2y2
- 4y2 – 29y
- 4y2 – 8y
- 21y – 42
=> y3 – 2y2 – 29y – 42 = (y + 2) (y2 – 4y – 21)
y2 – 4y – 21 = y2 – 7y + 3y – 21
= y(y – 7) +3(y – 7)
= (y – 7)(y + 3)
Hence, y3 – 2y2 – 29y – 42 = (y + 2) (y – 7)(y + 3)
2y3 – 5y2 – 19y + 42
Given, f(x) = 2y3 – 5y2 – 19y + 42

Let, y – 2 = 0
=> y = 2
f(2) = 2(2)3 – 5(2)2 – 19(2) + 42
= 16 – 20 – 38 + 42
So, (y – 2) is the factor of f(y)
Now, divide f(y) with (y – 2) to get other factors
By, long division method
2y2 – y – 21
y – 2 2y3 – 5y2 -19y + 42
2y3 – 4y2
- y2 – 19y
- y2 + 2y
- 21y + 42
=> 2y3 – 5y2 - 19y + 42 = (y – 2) (2y2 – y – 21)
The factors are (y + 3) (2y – 7)
Hence, 2y3 – 5y2 -19y + 42 = (y – 2) (y + 3) (2y – 7)
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
Given, f(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20

=> x3 + 13x2 +32x + 20 = (x + 1)( x2 + 12x + 20)
x2 + 12x + 20 = x2 + 10x + 2x + 20
= x(x + 10) + 2(x + 10)
The factors are (x + 10) and (x + 2)

x + 1 x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
- 4x2 – 9x
- 4x2 – 4x
- 5x – 5
=> x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1)( x2 – 4x – 5)
x2 – 4x – 5 = x2 – 5x + x – 5
= x(x – 5) + 1(x – 5)
The factors are (x – 5) and (x + 1)

2y2 + 3y + 1 = 2y2 + 2y + y + 1
= 2y(y + 1) + 1(y + 1)
