Factor polynomial $$ v^{3}-2v^{2}+5v-10 $$
Answer
$$ v^{3}-2v^{2}+5v-10 = ( v^{2}+5 )( v-2 ) $$
Explanation
To factor $ v^{3}-2v^{2}+5v-10 $ we can use factoring by grouping:
Group $ \color{blue}{ x^{3} }$ with $ \color{blue}{ -2x^{2} }$ and $ \color{red}{ 5x }$ with $ \color{red}{ -10 }$ then factor each group.
$$ \begin{aligned} v^{3}-2v^{2}+5v-10 = ( \color{blue}{ x^{3}-2x^{2} } ) + ( \color{red}{ 5x-10 }) &= \\ &= \color{blue}{ x^{2}( x-2 )} + \color{red}{ 5( x-2 ) } = \\ &= (x^{2}+5)(x-2) \end{aligned} $$This page was created using
