factor x33x2x50 into x1x24x5 I am stuck on how this is done
factor x^3-3x^2+x+5=0 into (x+1)(x^2-4x+5)
I am stuck on how this is done, please show as much detail as possible
Thank you
Solution
We have x3 -3x2 + x + 5 = x3 + x2 - 4x2 - 4x + 5x + 5 = x2 ( x + 1) -4x(x + 1) + 5(x + 1) = (x + 1)(x2 -4x + 5)
