(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)
note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0
thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor
dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)
x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )
x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)
(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2

Answer:
6x^2 - 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
3x (2x-1)
