The first is (x+1)(x-1)(x-2), the roots being the opposite sign to the factor constant.
That can be foiled out with (x^2-1)(x-2) and becomes a cubic.
===================
The second has roots of -2, 1, and +/- sqrt(2), since conjugate has to be part of the roots
(x+2)(x^2-2)(x-1), and that can be foiled out.
================
third has factors of (x+2)(x-isqrt(3)(x+i sqrt(3))
This is (x+2)(x^2-3i^2) or (x+2)(x^2+3) and can be foiled out
