MCQ
$x + 1$ is a factor of the polynomial.
  • A
    $x^3 - 2x^2 + x + 2$
  • B
    $x^3 + 2x^2 + x - 2$
  • $x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2$
  • D
    $x^3 + 2x^2 - x + 2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2$

$ x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2$
$= x^2 (x + 2) - 1(x + 2)$
$= (x^2 - 1) (x + 2)$
$= (x + 1) (x - 1) (x + 2)$
