Priya wants to sketch a graph of the polynomial f defined by f(x)=x^3+5x^2+2x-8. She knows f(1)=0, so she suspects that (x-1) could be a factor of x^3+5x^2+2x-8 and writes (x^3+5x^2+2x-8) = (x-1) (?x^2+?x+?) and draws a diagram.

1. Finish Priya's diagram
2. Write f(x) as the product of (x-1) and another factor.
3. Write f(x) as the product of three linear factors.
4. Make a sketch of y=f(x).

Factorization is the process of determining the components of a given value or mathematical statement. The integers that are multiplied to create the original number are known as factors. The components of 18 include, for instance, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18, as well as;

18 = 2 x 9

18 = 2 x 3 x 3

18 = 3 x 6

In a similar way, the factors in the case of polynomials are the polynomials that are multiplied to create the original polynomial. For instance, (x + 2) (x + 3) are the elements of x2 + 5x + 6. The original polynomial is produced when we multiply both x +2 and x +3. We can also locate the polynomials' zeros after factorization. Zeroes in this situation are x = -2 and x = -3.

2. Now, to write f(x) as the product of (x-1) and another factor.

x³+5x²+2x-8 = (x-1)(x²-6x+8).

3. Now, to write f(x) as the product of three linear factors.

x³+5x²+2x-8 = (x-1)(x²-6x+8)= (x-1)(x-4)(x-2)

4. Look at the sketch below.
