Which one of the following is a factor of \( \Large x^{3} - 19x + 30 \) ?

A) x - 2
B) x + 2
C) x - 1
D) x + 1

Correct Answer:

A) x - 2

Description for Correct answer:
\( \Large x^{3} - 19x + 30 \)

(x - 2) is the factor of the above expression.

Because for x = 2

\( \Large (2)^{3} - 19 \times (2) + 30 = 0 \)
