Question

Write the polynomial in factored form x^3-3x^2-10x

Answer 1

The answer would be,  x(x+2)(x−5).

Answer 2

Factor the following:
x^3 - 3 x^2 - 10 x
Factor x out of x^3 - 3 x^2 - 10 x:
x (x^2 - 3 x - 10)
The factors of -10 that sum to -3 are 2 and -5. So, x^2 - 3 x - 10 = (x + 2) (x - 5):
Answer:  x (x + 2) (x - 5)
