Answer:
=(x + 2) (3x + 2)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x³ - x² - 20x - 12 X
Use the rational root theorem
ao = 12,
an = 3
The dividers of ag: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, The dividers of an: 1,3
Therefore, check the following rational numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
1,3
is a root of the expression, so factor out
X + 2
x³ - x² - 20x - 12 3x3 = (x+2). x + 2
- x² - 20x - 12 = 3x² - 7x-6
x + 2
= 3x² -7x-6
