How do you factor x cubed minus four x squared plus x plus 6?
x3 - 4x2 + x + 6 The sum of the odd coefficients equals the sum of the even coefficients, so (x + 1) is a factor. So x3 - 4x2 + x + 6 = x3 + x2 - 5x2 - 5x + 6x + 6 = x2(x + 1) - 5x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = (x + 1)(x2 - 5x + 6) = (x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)
