1. A mysterious box is delivered to the dinner party you are attending. The label on the box says that the volume of a box is the function f(x)=x^3+3x^2 -10x-24. To open the box, you need to identify the correct factors of f(x). Partygoers offer up solutions, and its it your job to find the right ones.

Their suggestions:
(x-1)
(x+2)
(x-3)
(x+4)
(x+6)
(x-12)

List the correct factors. Then justify your selections with complete sentences.
