The other two linear factors of the polynomial x³ + 4x² +x -6 are; Choice A: (x – 1) and (x + 3)

Polynomial division

By ling division of polynomials, it follows that the division of polynomial x³ + 4x² +x -6 by x +2 yields the quadratic expression;

  • x² + 2x -3.

On this note, the factorisation of the quadratic expression above yields factors;

  • (x – 1) and (x + 3)
