What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x3+5x2+4x−6?

f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6
f(-3)=(-3)^3+5(-3)^2+4(-3)-6=0\implies x+3\text{ is a factor of }f(x)

Synthetic division yields

-3  |  1   5   4   -6
.    |      -3  -6    6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    |  1   2  -2    0

which translates to

\dfrac{x^3+5x^2+4x-6}{x+3}=x^2+2x-2

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

x^2+2x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-2)}}2=-1\pm\sqrt3

and so

f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6=(x+3)(x-(-1+\sqrt3))(x-(-1-\sqrt3))

What is the simplified form of the following expression?(x10)(x2) x8 x12 x20 x100
notka56 [123]
I believe the answer would be x20. Between the two parentheses there's a multiplication symbol. So you would just pretend that the parentheses aren't there cause the variable(s) (x) is/are like terms. So you would just multiply 10 times 2 and put out the x back in front of it
