Q. Factor completely:\newline70x3x2x3 70 x-3 x^{2}-x^{3} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize common factor: First, we need to recognize that each term in the polynomial 70x3x2x370x - 3x^2 - x^3 has a common factor of xx. We can factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each term.
  2. Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF, which is xx:x(703xx2)x(70 - 3x - x^2)Now we have factored out xx, but we need to check if the remaining quadratic polynomial can be factored further.
  3. Check quadratic polynomial: We should rearrange the terms in the quadratic polynomial to have them in standard form (from highest power to lowest power): x(x23x+70)x(-x^2 - 3x + 70)
  4. Rearrange terms in standard form: Now, we look for two numbers that multiply to give the product of the coefficient of x2x^2 (1-1) and the constant term (7070), and add up to the coefficient of xx (3-3).\newlineThe numbers that satisfy these conditions are 10-10 and 77, because (10)×7=70(-10) \times 7 = -70 and (10)+7=3(-10) + 7 = -3.
  5. Find two numbers: We can now factor the quadratic polynomial using these two numbers: x(x210x+7x+70)x(-x^2 - 10x + 7x + 70)
  6. Factor quadratic polynomial: Next, we group the terms to factor by grouping: x((x210x)+(7x+70))x((-x^2 - 10x) + (7x + 70))
  7. Group terms for factoring: Factor out the common factors from each group: x(x(x+10)+7(x+10))x(-x(x + 10) + 7(x + 10))
  8. Factor out common factors: We see that (x+10)(x + 10) is a common factor in both groups, so we can factor it out: x(x+10)(x+7)x(x + 10)(-x + 7)
  9. Write completely factored form: Finally, we can write the completely factored form of the polynomial: \newlinex(x+7)(x+10)x(-x + 7)(x + 10)\newlineHowever, it is more conventional to write the factors in descending order of their powers of xx: \newlinex33x2+70x=x(x7)(x+10)-x^3 - 3x^2 + 70x = -x(x - 7)(x + 10)
