Question

Find one factor of:
x^3-3x^2+3x-1
(and please explain :)

Answer 1

f the sum all coefficients/constant equal zero , so x=1 is one of its solution or (x-1) is one of the factor that term

Answer 2

how do you find that?

Answer 3

next use synthetic's method

Answer 4

i know thatif f(a) equals zero, then it will be a factor, x-a but how did you work out what a is?

Answer 5

oke, because (x-1) is one of solution then its quotien is
