Q1. x3+6x2+11x+6
Sol:
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)
Q2. x3+2x2–x–2
Sol:
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
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(1) = (1)3+2(1)2–1–2
= 1 + 2 – 1 – 2
= 0
Similarly , the other factors (x + 1) and (x + 2) 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 + 1)
x3+2x2–x–2 = k(x – 1)(x + 2)(x + 1)
Substitute x = 0 on both the sides
0 + 0 – 0 – 2 = k(-1)(1)(2)
⇒ – 2 = -2k
⇒ k = 1
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)
Q3. x3–6x2+3x+10

Let , x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(-1) = (−1)3–6(−1)2+3(−1)+10
= -1 – 6 – 3 + 10
= 0
Similarly , the other factors (x – 2) and (x – 5) 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 – 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)
⇒ k = 1
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)
Q4. x4–7x3+9x2+7x–10
Sol:
Given, f(x) = x4–7x3+9x2+7x–10
The constant term in f(x) is 10
The factors of 10 are ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10
Let , x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = 1
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(x) = 14–7(1)3+9(1)2+7(1)–10
= 1 – 7 + 9 + 7 – 10
= 10 – 10
= 0
(x – 1) is the factor of f(x)
Simarly, 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)
⇒ k = 1
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 = (x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 5)

= 1 + 2 – 7 – 8 + 12
= 0
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 = k12
⇒ k = 1
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)

= 1 – 10 + 35 – 50 + 24
= 0
⇒ (x + 1) is the factor of f(x)
Similarly, (x + 2),(x + 3),(x + 4) 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 + 4)
⇒ x4+10x3+35x2+50x+24 = k(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4)
Substitute x = 0 on both sides
⇒ 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 24 = k(1)(2)(3)(4)
⇒ 24 = k(24)
⇒ k = 1
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)
