Question

find factors of x^3-2x^2-3x-10​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  1 more similar replacement(s).

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

 (((x3) -  2x2) -  3x) +  10  = 0  

STEP

2

:

Checking for a perfect cube

2.1    x3-2x2-3x+10  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2      Factoring:  x3-2x2-3x+10  

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -3x+10  

Group 2:  x3-2x2  

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (-3x+10) • (1) = (3x-10) • (-1)

Group 2:   (x-2) • (x2)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.
