Question

X^3-3x^2-10x+24 by x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  1 more similar replacement(s).

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

 ((((x3)-3x2)-10x)+24)

 —————————————————————-2

           x          

STEP

2

:

           x3 - 3x2 - 10x + 24

Simplify   ———————————————————

                    x        

Checking for a perfect cube :

2.1    x3 - 3x2 - 10x + 24  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2      Factoring:  x3 - 3x2 - 10x + 24

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -10x + 24

Group 2:  x3 - 3x2

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (5x - 12) • (-2)

Group 2:   (x - 3) • (x2)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :
