What is the factor form for x3x26x i just cant seem 2 get it
What is the factor form for x^3-x^2-6x?
i just cant seem 2 get it
Solution
As it appears to me the answer posted above is not sticking to the main question, that is to find factors of given expression. This can be done in a much simpler way as follows.
x^3 - x^2 - 6x = x*[x^2 - x - 6] = x*[x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6]
= x*[x*(x - 3) + 2*(x - 3)] = x*(x - 3) *(x + 2)
Therefore factors of the given expression are x, (x - 3), and (x + 2)
