If ((x + 2)) and ((3x – 1)) are factors of (6x^{3} + x^{2} -…

If ((x + 2)) and ((3x – 1)) are factors of (6x^{3} + x^{2} – 19x + 6), find the third factor.

  • A.
    (2x – 3)
  • B.
    (3x + 1)
  • C.
    (x – 2)
  • D.
    (3x + 2)
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

To get the third factor, take the product of the other 2 factors and then divide the main equation by their product.
