Step by step solution :
STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1
(((x3) - 2x2) + 2x) - 1 = 0
STEP
2
:
Checking for a perfect cube
2.1 x3-2x2+2x-1 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
2.2 Factoring: x3-2x2+2x-1
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: 2x-1
Group 2: -2x2+x3
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (2x-1) • (1)
Group 2: (x-2) • (x2)
