Substituting, x = 2 in 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2, we get :
⇒ 6(2)3 - 11(2)2 - 3(2) + 2
⇒ 6 × 8 - 11 × 4 - 6 + 2
⇒ 48 - 44 - 6 + 2
⇒ 6 - 6
⇒ 0.
∴ (x - 2) is a factor of 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2.
On dividing 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 by (x - 2), we get:
∴ 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(6x2 + x - 1)
⇒ 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(6x2 + 3x - 2x - 1)
⇒ 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)[3x(2x + 1) - 1(2x + 1)]
⇒ 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(3x - 1)(2x + 1).
Hence, 6x3 - 11x2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(3x - 1)(2x + 1).
