Answer:

Explanation:

Prime numbers have only one factor pair, the number itself and 1. Some polynomials can be factored and some cannot be so a polynomial is a prime polynomial if it can't be factored into the standard linear form of (x+a)((x+b).

For the given polynomial x^3+3x^2+2x+6

Re-arranging the Polynomial to find out whether it could be factored or not

x^3+2x+3x^2+6=0

x(x^2+2) +3 (x^2+2)=0

(x+3)(x^2+2)=0

x+3=0 and x^2+2=0

x=-3, x^2= -2

x=-3, x=sqrt(-2), x= -sqrt(-2)

As the polynomial is factorable it is not prime
