Algebra.Com's Answer #150125 by RAY100(1637)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! to factor ,,,x^3 -4x^2 +x +6,,,,knowing (x+1) is a factor,,,,use poly division or synthetic division \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ",,,,,,-1,,,,1,,,,-4,,,,,+1,,,,6 \n" ); document.write( ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,-1,,,,,+5,,,-6 \n" ); document.write( ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,__________________ \n" ); document.write( ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,,-5,,,,+6,,,,,0 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "(x+1)(x^2 -5x +6),,,,,,,now just factor 2nd term \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "(x+1) ( x-3) (x-2),,,,,or answer B \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "to check, multiply factors to reach original,,,,ok \n" ); document.write( " |
