Answer:

Explanation:

Set up synthetic division, starting with x - 1 as the divisor, and then (from that) 1:

1 / 1 0 0 -1 The coefficients of x^2 and x are zero here.

1 1 1

--------------------------

1 1 1 0

Since the remainder is zero, 1 is a root and x - 1 is a factor of the original

x^3 - 1 = 0.
