We are given the function f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 - 2x - 3 and is asked for the factor from the given (x - 3), (x - 1), (x + 2), and (x + 3). We just have to substitute the factor to the function and find out which one is equal to zero. in this case, the answer is (x-1). 

Answer:

(x-1) is factor of our function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function [tex]f(x)=2x^{3} +3x^{2} -2x-3[/tex] and we are asked to find the correct factor from the given options.

Let us factor out our polynomial.

[tex]2x^{3} +3x^{2} -2x-3[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} (2x+3)-1(2x+3)[/tex]

[tex](x^{2} -1)(2x+3)[/tex]

[tex](x+1)(x-1)(2x+3)[/tex]

Therefore, (x-1) is correct choice for factor of our polynomial.
