The diagram represents 6x2 – 7x 2 with a factor of 2x – 1. A 2-column table with 2 rows. First column is labeled 2 x with entries 6 x squared, negative 4 x. Second column is labeled negative 1 with entries negative 3 x, 2. Both rows are labeled with a question mark. What is the other factor of 6x2 – 7x 2? 3x – 2 3x – 1 3x 1 3x 2.

Respuesta :

Factors of a polynomial can divide it without leaving remainder. The other factor of [tex]6x^2 - 7x + 2[/tex] is given by Option D :  [tex]3x + 2[/tex]

How to factorize a polynomial?

Let the  polynomial A(x) has one factor f(x).

Then, it means, we have:

[tex]\dfrac{A(x)}{f(x)} = g(x)[/tex]

Thus, A(x) can be written as [tex]A(x) = f(x) \times g(x)[/tex]

Thus, the other factor of that polynomial is

[tex]g(x) = \dfrac{A(x)}{f(x)}[/tex]

For given case, the polynomial [tex]A(x)[/tex] is

[tex]A(x) = 6x^2 - 7x + 2[/tex]

Its one factor f(x) is given [tex]f(x) = 2x - 1[/tex]

Thus, its second factor is obtained as:

[tex]g(x) = \dfrac{A(x)}{f(x)} = \dfrac{6x^2 - 7x + 2}{(2x - 1)} = \dfrac{6x^2 -4x -3x - 2}{2x - 1}\\\\g(x) = \dfrac{2x(3x + 2) - 1(3x + 2)}{2x - 1} = \dfrac{(2x - 1)(3x + 2)}{2x - 1}\\\\g(x) = (3x + 2)[/tex]

Thus, the second factor of the given polynomial is

Option D :  [tex]3x + 2[/tex]
