A = (x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) + (x – 1)(x – 2) + x – 1
ó A = (x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) + (x – 1)(x – 2) + (x – 1)
ó A = (x – 1)[(x – 2)(x – 3) + (x – 2) + 1]
ó A = (x – 1)[(x – 2)(x – 3 + 1) + 1]
ó A = (x – 1)[(x – 2)(x – 2) + 1]
ó A = (x – 1)[ ( x – 2 ) 2 + 1]
Tại x = 5 ta có
A = (5 – 1)[ ( 5 – 2 ) 2 + 1] = 4. ( 3 2 + 1 ) = 4.(9 + 1) = 4.10 = 40
Vậy A = 40
Đáp án cần chọn là: B
