Answer:
- (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
- (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
- (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 2x³ +x² -18x -9 = x²(2x +1) -9(2x +1) = (x² -9)(2x +1) = (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
__
B) x³ +3x² -x -3 = x²(x +3) -1(x +3) = (x² -1)(x +3) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
__
C) 4x³ -16x² -x +4 = 4x²(x -4) -1(x -4) = (4x² -1)(x -4) = (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)
_____
In each case, the third-level factoring mentioned in step 4 is the factoring of the difference of squares: a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b).
_____
The step-by-step is exactly what you need to do. It is simply a matter of following those instructions. You do have to be able to recognize the common factors of a pair of terms. That will be the GCF of the numbers and the least powers of the common variables.

Start with the parent function f(x) = x³
Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.
Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate
Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated five units up
So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.
SSS = Side-Side-Side
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.
SAS = Side-Angle-Side
If two sides and the included angle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle then the triangles are congruent.'
The angle must be formed by the two pairs of congruent, corresponding sides of the triangles. If the angles are not formed by the two sides that are congruent and corresponding to the other triangle's parts then you cannot use the SAS postulate.
you will notice that the main difference between the two postulates is that the SAS consists of an angle and the SSS does not.
hope this helps :)
