Question
Factor the expression
(x+1)(x2−3x−1)
Evaluate
x3−2x2−4x−1
Calculate
x3−3x2−x+x2−3x−1
Rewrite the expression
x×x2−x×3x−x+x2−3x−1
Factor out x from the expression
x(x2−3x−1)+x2−3x−1
Solution
(x+1)(x2−3x−1)
Show Solution
Find the roots
x1=−1,x2=23−13,x3=23+13
Alternative Form
x1=−1,x2≈−0.302776,x3≈3.302776
Evaluate
x3−2x2−4x−1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x3−2x2−4x−1=0
Factor the expression
(x+1)(x2−3x−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x+1=0x2−3x−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps
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=−1x2−3x−1=0
Solve the equation
