To factor the polynomial x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x, we first need to find its roots. We can do this by using synthetic division or factoring by grouping. Once we find a root, we can then factor out the corresponding linear factor and apply the remaining steps of long division or factoring by grouping to obtain the remaining quadratic factor.
