Question

Can anybody factor out for me this polynomial:
x^3+x^2-2=0

Answer 1

Looks unfactorable...

Answer 2

But im not sure

Answer 3

it looks unfactorable but it is factorable ! with real and imaginary values

Answer 4

(-1+x) (2+2 x+x^2)

Answer 5

how do you factor out. I mean I need to find all the real and imaginary values of x?

Answer 6

Mertsj I don't think this is the right answer and I need to see steps

Answer 7

thangiee has the only real factorization I can see.

the imaginary roots are -1+i; -1-i
so I would assume there is an imaginary factorization with (x+1)^2=i around there somewhere.

Answer 8

I have the imaginary and real roots I just don't know what are the steps in getting them. I need to know how do you factor this polynomial. Need steps
