Question

how would you factor this?
x^3 - 38x^2 + 37x? I'm totally confused.

Answer 1

is it x(x^2 - 38x + 37)?

Answer 2

yes
now (x-37) (x-1)

Answer 3

yes. but now that second factor in the parenthesis can also be factored...

Answer 4

so the final answer is x(x-37) (x-1)

Answer 5

so it's 0, +37, +1?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

thank you! I don't know why that confused me so much at first. I totally know how to do those. Maybe been working on problems too long tonight.
