Question

put into factored form?

x^3 – 3x^2 – 10x

Answer 1

first take out x
x(x^2 - 3x - 10)

can you factor the trinomial in the parentheses?

Answer 2

uhmm.. i think so ? 5&2 ?

Answer 3

-5 and + 2

Answer 4

yea i got that lol i just cant think of where

Answer 5

x(x-5)(x+2)

Answer 6

ahh ok, is that it or is there another step? cuz that looks right

Answer 7

Well, first, it start off as what cwrw said; x(x^2 - 3x - 10).
then you just factor the quadratic inside the parentheses :)
the two numbers must add up to -3 and multiply to -10. -5 and 2 are the two numbers that match those circumstances.

Answer 8

alright awesome thanx
