Find the roots
x1=0,x2=1,x3=2
Evaluate
(x3−3x2+2x)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x3−3x2+2x=0
Factor the expression
x(x−2)(x−1)=0
Separate the equation into 3 possible cases
x=0x−2=0x−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=2
x=0x=2x−1=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=1
x=0x=2x=1
