✔ 最佳答案
Factorize 2x³ + 5x² – 8x – 5.
Let f(x) = 2x³ + 5x² – 8x – 5
f(1) = 2 × 1³ + 5 × 1² – 8 × 1 – 5 = – 6 ≠ 0
∴x – 1 is not a factor.
f(– 1) = 2(– 1)³ + 5(– 1)² – 8(– 1) – 5 = 6 ≠ 0
∴x + 1 is not a factor.
f(1/2) = 2(1/2)³ + 5(1/2)² – 8(1/2) – 5 = – 15/2 ≠ 0
∴2x – 1 is not a factor.
f(– 1/2) = 2(– 1/2)³ + 5(– 1/2)² – 8(– 1/2) – 5 = 0
∴2x + 1 is a factor.
