Answer:
Hi bro
Step-by-step explanation:
First factor by grouping:
x3+x2−x−1=(x3+x2)−(x+1)=x2(x+1)−1(x+1)=(x2−1)(x+1)
Then notice that x2−1=x2−12 is a difference of squares, so we can use the difference of squares identity [ a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) ] to find:
(x2−1)(x+1)=(x−1)(x+1)(x+1)=(x−1)(x+1)2
Alternatively, notice that the sum of the coefficients (1+1−1−1) is 0, so x=1 is a zero of this cubic polynomial and (x−1) is a factor.
Divide x3+x2−x−1 by (x−1) to get x2

As, we have to factorise the given polynomial.
So, we have to find the value of x.
