Question

Factor n 3 - n 2 + 3n - 3.

Answer 1

n³- n² + 3n - 3 = (n²+3 )(x-1 )

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is
`(n+\sqrt3i)(n-\sqrt3i)(n-1).`

Step-by-step explanation: The given polynomial expression is

`E=n^3-n^2+3n-3.`

We are given to factor the above polynomial expression. Since the given polynomial is cubic, so there will be three factors.

The factorisation is as follows:

`E\\=n^3-n^2+3n-3\\=n^2(n-1)+3(n-1)\\=(n^2+3)(n-1)\\=(n^2-3i^2)(n-1)\\=(n+\sqrt3i)(n-\sqrt3i)(n-1).`

Thus, the factored polynomial is
`(n+\sqrt3i)(n-\sqrt3i)(n-1).`
