Question

Please help AND SHOW WORK!!!! 3x^(3)-6x^(2)+15x-30

Answer 1

Answer:

(x - 2)(3x^2 + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

All four terms here have 3 as a factor.  Factor out 3:

3x^(3)-6x^(2)+15x-30 =>  3(x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 10)

The last two terms can be rewritten as 5(x - 2).  The first two terms can be rewritten as 3x^2(x - 2).  So (x - 2) is a factor of 3(x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 10).  We get:        

3x^2(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) = (x - 2)(3x^2 + 5)
