Question

I need to factor this problem, which I haven't done in a while, so I need some review. 

x^3 + 2x^2 - 35x

Where do I start?

anonymous · Answer

Start by taking out one x since it's common, from there you have a quadratic which should be easier for you to factor, let me know if you need another hint from there.

anonymous · Answer

So then I end up with x(x^2 + 2x + 35) right? That's what I did, just wanted to make sure I'm right.

anonymous · Answer

Yep that's right

anonymous · Answer

wait no you should have -35, sorry i misread it

anonymous · Answer

Oh yeah, I did get -35, I just mistyped it.

anonymous · Answer

So for the final answer I got x(x - 5)(x + 7). Is that good?

anonymous · Answer

yep, that's what i got

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thanks. :)
