x4 + x3 − 6x² ? with step by step. thank you!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you wanto factor it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it factorisation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, if it is then here: since all the numbers dont relate in a way, and the x do, then put it like this: x(4+3-6x) Try it

OpenStudy (souvik):

is it \(x^4+x^3-6x^2\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Common factor is: \[x ^{2}\], so an equivalent of the starting equation is: \[x^{2}(x^2+x+6)\] furthermore, the new quadratic in parenthesis can be factored: \[x^2(x+3)(x-2)\] That's it, fully simplified =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a slight typo in the second equation - the sign in front of 6 is minus, sorry... The final answer is correct, though.
