प्रश्न

Factorise:

x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6

योग

उत्तर

Let p(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6

Constant term of p(x) = – 6

Factors of – 6 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6.

By trial, we find that p(1) = 0, so (x – 1) is a factor of p(x)  ...[∵ (1)3 – 6(1)2 + 11(1) – 6 = 1 – 6 + 11 – 6 = 0]

Now, we see that x3 – 6x2 + 11x = 6

= x3 – x2 – 5x2 + 5x + 6x – 6

= x2(x – 1) – 5x(x – 1) + 6(x – 1)

= (x – 1)(x2 – 5x + 6)  ...[Taking (x – 1) common factor]

Now, (x2 – 5x + 6) = x2 – 3x – 2x + 6  ...[By splitting the middle term]

= x(x – 3) – 2(x – 2)

= (x – 3)(x – 2)

∴ x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6 = (x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3)
