Question

factor x^3+9x^2+26x+24. I got (x+1)(x+3)(x+2) am I right?

Answer 1

no some mistake again... temme how u did and i'll post want went wrong buddy :)

Answer 2

okay so first I noticed there would be the ( ) () (), then I put x's in all of them, then + and then (x+1)(x+3)(x+2)

Answer 3

is it (x+1)(x+3)(x+6)?

Answer 4

see basically, 24=product of the roots,
so 24=-x1x2x3
26=(x1x2+x1x3+x2x3)
9=-(x1+x2+x3)
we hav to start by guessing only...so let us substitue 1,-1,2,-2 (but intelligent guess will tell its -2) therefore x+2 is a root . then simplify and get other roots... :)
the other roots are -3,-4

Answer 5

(x+2)(x+4)(x+3)
to check if the answer is rite, multiply our root 2*3*4=24
and 2+3+4=9
2*3+3*4+2*4=26 so done :)
