Answer:


f(x)= (x-1)(3+√(5))(3-√(5))

Explanation:

factor further


f(x)= x^3 -7x^2 +10x -4

and as you put it:


f(x)= (x-1)(x^2 -6x +4)

in the instructions, it says that 1 is a zero.

this is because when x=1

you will see that the first section (x-1) will be (1-1) which is 0

when you multiply 0 by anything, it is 0

so the entire thing would then be zero

(x-1) can not be factored further

but
x^2 -6x +4 can

factor into
(3+√(5))(3-√(5))

use quadratic formula

then put it back into equation


f(x)= (x-1)(3+√(5))(3-√(5))
