Question 1164619: I need your help again!
Can you please factor this polynomial for me?
z³ - 6 + 2z - 3z²
(I could check by using the FOIL Method, but I'd rather not. For your information, also, I tried to come up with the perfect greatest common factor for this polynomial, but I can't seem to think straight out of my head. I have already known how to factor by grouping, though. This looks like an awful tough one I have ever seen in my career!)
