Question 146162
I am trying to remember how to factor a problem, can you help me? 
Factor completely:
{{{ x^3- 2x^2 + 7x - 14 }}}
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
Factor just the first two terms by taking out {{{x^2}}}

{{{ x^2(x-2) + 7x - 14}}}

Factor +7 out of the remaining two terms:

{{{x^2(x-2) + 7(x - 2)}}}

Factor out {{{(x-2)}}}

{{{(x-2)(x^2 + 7)}}}

That's it.
