(d) 3

Answer:

The given equation is

x3 − 3x2 + 3x − 7 = (x + 1) (ax2 + bx + c)

Comparing the coefficients on both sides of the equation.

We get,


c = -7 .......(4)

Putting the value of a from (1) in (2)

We get,

So the value of a, b and c is 1, – 4 and -7 respectively.

Therefore,

a + b + c =1 - 4 - 7 = -10
