    The polynomial (in \[x\]):\[{{x}^{6}}+18{{x}^{3}}+125\], admits

    A) No factor of degree between 2 and 5

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-3x+5\] as a factor  

    C) \[x+1\] as a factor

    D) \[x-125\] as a factor

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Putting \[{{x}^{2}}=3x-5\], we get                 \[{{x}^{6}}+18{{x}^{3}}+125\] \[={{(3x-5)}^{3}}+18x(3x-5)+125\] \[=27{{x}^{3}}-125-45x(3x-5)+54{{x}^{2}}-90x+125\] \[=27{{x}^{3}}-135{{x}^{2}}+225x+54{{x}^{2}}-90x\] \[=27{{x}^{3}}-81{{x}^{2}}+135x\] \[=27x({{x}^{2}}-3x+5)\] \[=27x(3x-5-3x+5)\] \[=0\] Hence \[{{x}^{2}}-3x+5\] is factor.
