Question

Complete factorization of x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 4

Answer 1

x³ - 4x² + x - 4

= x²(x - 4) + (x - 4)

= (x² + 1)(x - 4).

Hope this helped have an amazing day!

Answer 2

Explanation:

x³ - 4x² + x - 4

= x²(x - 4) + (x - 4)

= (x² + 1)(x - 4).

Since the quadratic factor (x² + 1) is irreducible any further, this is our answer.
