Ex. u^3= 14u^2 + 32u. I do: 0= -u^3 + 14u^2 + 32u. Then, according to my algebra book, I factor, or seem to, it to: 0= u(u^2 + 14u + 32). Do I factor out the part in the parentheses? I can't seem to- paired factors of 32 that add up to 14... Or do I have it wrong? I just want to know the next step(s). </SPAN>\n" );
