Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a polynomial in x with x as a factor, we know that there will be no constant term. This arises because every term will be a multiple of x, and thus there will be know constant term.
Because there is a constant term in our polynomial, namely 1, x is not a factor of [tex]2x^3-x^2-2x+1[/tex], as desired.
