Kaila Hopkins · Answer 1

The answer would be, x (x+2) (x-5).

River Stokes · Answer 2

Factor the following:

x^3 - 3 x^2 - 10 x

Factor x out of x^3 - 3 x^2 - 10 x:

x (x^2 - 3 x - 10)

The factors of - 10 that sum to - 3 are 2 and - 5. So, x^2 - 3 x - 10 = (x + 2) (x - 5):

Answer: x (x + 2) (x - 5)
