The HCF of the polynomials (x2 – 4x + 4) (x + 3) and (x2 + 2x – 3) (x – 2) is............A) x + 3 B) x – 2 C) (x + 3) (x – 2) D) (x + 3) (x – 2)2

Answer»

Correct option is (C) (x + 3) (x – 2)

\(\because\) \(x^2-4x+4\) = (x-2) (x-2) and

\(x^2+2x-3\) = (x+3) (x-1)

\(\therefore\) HCF of polynomials \((x^2-4x+4)(x+3)\) \(and\,(x^2+2x-3)(x-2)\)

= Highest common factor of polynomials \((x-2)^2(x+3)\) \(and\,(x-2)(x-1)(x+3)\)

= (x – 2) (x + 3)

Correct option is C) (x + 3) (x – 2)
