Question

Can somebody factor the following?
1) x^3 - x^2 + x - 2 = 0
2) x^2 + x -1 = 0

Answer 1

x=1

Answer 2

x^3-x^2+x-2=x^2+x-1
x^3-x^2-X^2+x-x-2+1=0
x^3-2x^2-1=0
x1=2.20556, x2=-0.10278

Answer 3

and do you know how to factorize (break it down) : x^3 + 10 ? in this type of answer (x +..) and ( x-..) ?
