    14. The cubic polynomial c( x ) is defined by c( x)  x 3  x 2  x  15 .

    (a) Factorise c( x ) into the product of a linear factor l ( x ) and a quadratic


    factor q ( x) , and prove that q ( x) cannot be further factorised into the
    product of linear factors with real coefficients.

    14. (a) c( x)  ( x  3)( x 2  2 x  5) ;


    q( x)  x 2  2 x  5 and the discriminant of q ( x) is  16 , which is  0 ,
    hence q ( x) has no real roots and thus does not factorise into the
    product of linear factors with real coefficients.
