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

\n" );
