.
Factor out -4
-4(x^3+3x^2-2x-6
Factor out x^2
-4(x^2(x+3)-2x-6)
Factor out -2
-4(x^2(x+3)-2(x+3))
Factor out x+3
-4(x+3)(x^2-2)
Hey there!!
Okay so here are the steps....
(5 + 2i) + (8 - 3i) <---- when we have exponents we should worry about the "i" because it is equal to √-1 but here it isn't the case.
<u>
(13 - i)</u><u /> <----- This is the answer!
<u />I hope this helps! ^__^
