SOLUTION: ok how would i factor 2x^3-5x^2-4x+3? I used synthetic division and found it to come out to (x-3)(x+1)(2x-1)..Where did I go wrong cuz I was told that (2x-1) is wrong

You are correct in saying that 2x%5E3-5x%5E2-4x%2B3=%28x-3%29%28x%2B1%29%282x-1%29. As verification, simply graph the two expressions and you'll see that they are the same graph.
