Question# 93) x^6-2x^3+1
Books Answer: (x-1)^2 (x^2+x+1)^2
My answer (x^3+1)(x^3+1) This question is from textbook Sullivan

the middle term in the original polynomial is negative, but your answer is all positive

your answer should be (x^3-1)(x^3-1)

the difference of cubes will then factor to the book's answer
