Question
$2x^4 - 7x^3 - 13x^2 + 63x - 45$
✓
Answer
Let $f(x)=2 x^4-7 x^3-13 x^2+63 x-45$ be the given polynomial.
Now, putting $x=1$, we get
$f(1)=2(1)^4-7(1)^3-13(1)^2+63(1)-45$
$=2-7-13+63-45=65-65$
$=0$
Therefore, $(x-1)$ is a factor of polynomial $f(x)$.
Now,
$f(x)=2 x^3(x-1)-5 x^2(x-1)-18 x(x-1)+45(x-1)$
$=(x-1)\left(2 x^3-5 x^2-18 x+45\right)$
$=(x-1) g(x) \ldots(1)$
Where $g(x)=2 x^3-5 x^2-18 x+45$
Putting $x=3$, we get:
$g(3)=2(3)^3-5(3)^2-18(3)+45$
$=54-45-54+45$
$=0$
Therefore, $( x -3)$ is the factor of $g ( x )$.
Now,
$g(x)=2 x^2(x-3)+x(x-3)-15(x-3)$
$=(x-3)\left(2 x^2+x-15\right)$
$=(x-3)\left(2 x^2+6 x-5 x-15\right)$
$=(x-3)(x+3)(2 x-5) \ldots(2)$
From equation (1) and (2), we get:
$f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2 x-5)$
Hence, $(x-1),(x-3),(x+3)$ and $(2 x-5)$ are the factors of polynomial $f(x)$.
Now, putting $x=1$, we get
$f(1)=2(1)^4-7(1)^3-13(1)^2+63(1)-45$
$=2-7-13+63-45=65-65$
$=0$
Therefore, $(x-1)$ is a factor of polynomial $f(x)$.
Now,
$f(x)=2 x^3(x-1)-5 x^2(x-1)-18 x(x-1)+45(x-1)$
$=(x-1)\left(2 x^3-5 x^2-18 x+45\right)$
$=(x-1) g(x) \ldots(1)$
Where $g(x)=2 x^3-5 x^2-18 x+45$
Putting $x=3$, we get:
$g(3)=2(3)^3-5(3)^2-18(3)+45$
$=54-45-54+45$
$=0$
Therefore, $( x -3)$ is the factor of $g ( x )$.
Now,
$g(x)=2 x^2(x-3)+x(x-3)-15(x-3)$
$=(x-3)\left(2 x^2+x-15\right)$
$=(x-3)\left(2 x^2+6 x-5 x-15\right)$
$=(x-3)(x+3)(2 x-5) \ldots(2)$
From equation (1) and (2), we get:
$f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2 x-5)$
Hence, $(x-1),(x-3),(x+3)$ and $(2 x-5)$ are the factors of polynomial $f(x)$.
