MCQ
$(x + 1)$ is a factor of the polynomial:
  • A
    $x^3+x^2-x+1$
  • $x^3+2 x^2-x-2$
  • C
    $x^3+2 x^2-x+2$
  • D
    $x^4+x^3+x^2+1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$x^3+2 x^2-x-2$
Given, $x^3+2 x^2-x-2$
For $f(-1)$,
$-1+2(-1)^2-(-1)-2$
$-1+2-1-2=0$
$x=-1$
$x+1=0$
So, $(x+1)$ is a factor of the polynomial $x^3+2 x^2-x-2$
