Question

Which of the following is the correct representation of the polynomial

F(x) = x4 - 2x3 + 2x - 1 as a product of linear factors?

A. F(x) = (x+1)(x - 1)(x - 1)(x+1)
B. F(x) = (x - 1)(x - 1)(x - 1)(x + 1)
C. F(x) = (x-1)(x-1)(x - 1)(x - 1)
D. F(x) = (x + 1)(x + 1)(x+1)(x + 1)

Answer 1

Your answer is B: F(x)=(x-1)(x-1)(x-1)(x+1)
