The roots of the equation x^3-3 x-2=0 are
Options
- A-1,-1,2
- B-1,1,-2
- C-1,2,-3
- D-1,-1,-2
Correct answer
A. -1,-1,2
Step-by-step solution
Given equation is x^3-3 x-2=0 Now, put x=-1 , we get aligned (-1)^3-3(-1)-2 & =0 0 & =0 aligned Given equation can be written as aligned & (x+1) (x^2-x-2 )=0 & (x+1)(x+1)(x-2)=0 & x=-1,-1,2 & aligned
