Question

Help with finishing this please? :D

Answer 1

So far, I've already gotten part of the factor (x + 1) using rational roots and synthetic division, but I'm not sure how to keep going

Answer 2

where are you up to so far?

Answer 3

I've gotten (x + 1) as part of the factor that I need to get as my answer

Answer 4

is this how you got it,
\[f(x)=x^3-x^2+2\]
-1, So
\[(x^3-x^2+2) \div (x+1) =x^2-2x+2,~~~(I~~did~~long~~polynomial~~division)\]or whatever it's called.

Now set \[x^3-x^2+2=0 ~~~and~~~solve~~for~~~x\]

Answer 5

I mean \[x^2-2x+2=0\]

Answer 6

\[(x-1)=-2+1=-1\]\[x=1±i\]

Answer 7

but these roots are not real, they are imaginary.

Answer 8

Oh, hold on, I think there is an error.

Answer 9

I'm really lost with this..

Answer 10

I can reexplain.

Answer 11

Do you know how I got x^2-2x+2?

Answer 12

no :/

Answer 13

I dd long polynomial division (tricky one)
