P(x) = x3 - 2x3 - 3x = - x3 - 3x

Put P(x) = 0,

So, - x3 - 3x = 0

or,  x3 + 3x = 0

or, x (x2 + 3) = 0

So, the only real value of x is 0................... (Ans)...............

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

If there might be any typing mistake and the question is

P(x) = x3 - 2x2 - 3x

So, again put P(x) = 0

So, x3 - 2x2 - 3x = 0

or, x ( x2 - 2x - 3) = 0

So, x = 0 .............. or  x2 - 2x - 3 = 0

x = 0 ..................... or  (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0 implies x = 3 or x = -1.

So, real values of x are 0 , -1 and 3................. (Ans)....................

 


The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real.
