You have the following polynomial:

5r³ - 10r² + 3r - 6

In order to factorize the given polynomial, use synthetic division:

5 -10 3 -6 | 2

10 0 6

5 0 3 0

The remainder is zero in the previous division, then, r - 2 is a factor of the given polynomial, the other factor is formed with the coefficients of the division, just as follow:

5r³ - 10r² + 3r - 6 = (r - 2)(5r² + 3)

Hence, the factor are (r - 2)(5r² + 3)
