Equation at the end of step 1

(((x3) - 2x2) + 2x) - 1 = 0

STEP

:

Checking for a perfect cube

2.1 x3-2x2+2x-1 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2 Factoring: x3-2x2+2x-1

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1: 2x-1

Group 2: -2x2+x3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: (2x-1) • (1)

Group 2: (x-2) • (x2)
