उत्तर

Let f(x) = x3 + 2x2 + kx − 18

Let x + 2 = 0

x = −2

∵ x + 2 is a factor of f(x).

∴ f(−2) = 0

⇒ (−2)3 + 2(−2)2 + k(−2) − 18 = 0

⇒ −8 + 2(4) − 2k − 18 = 0

⇒ −8 + 8 − 2k − 18 = 0

⇒ −2k − 18 = 0

⇒ −2k = 18

⇒ k = −9

∴ f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18

           x2 − 7x + 9
`x + 2")"overline(x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18)`
           x3 + 2x2
         −    −                          
                        − 9x − 18
                        − 9x − 18
                        +      +         
                                x          

f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18

= x2 (x + 2) − 9(x + 2)

= (x2 − 9) (x + 2)

Now factor the difference of squares:

x2 − 9 = (x − 3) (x + 3)

∴ x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18 = (x + 2) (x − 3) (x + 3)
