This doesn't factor neatly.

However, we can say (sqrt(3))^2 = 3

Hence

x^(2) - (sqrt(3))^2.

This will factor becasue we have two squared terms and a NEGATIVE between them.. NB A positive does NOT factor.

Hence

(x - sqrt(3))(x + sqrt(3)) .

NB The sqrt(3) is 1.732050808.... (It is an Irrational number).
