Example 1:
Solve x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8 = 0 and factorize x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8

x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8 = 0 x = 4, 1 or –2
x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 4)(x2 + x – 2) = (x – 4)(x – 1)(x + 2)(1)
x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 1)(x2 – 2x – 8) = (x – 1)(x – 4)(x + 2)(1)
x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 8 = (x + 2)(x2 – 5x +4) = (x+2)(x – 1)(x – 4)(1)

Example 2:
Solve 4x3 + 2x2 + 6x + 18 = 0 and factorize 4x3 + 2x2 + 6x + 18.

x = −1.5, 0.5−1.658312395i or 0.5+1.658312395i


4x3 + 2x2 + 6x + 18 = (2x + 3)(2x2 − 2x + 6)
Example 3:
Solve x3 – 3x2 – x + 6 = 0 and factorize x3 – 3x2 – x + 6.
x = 2.302775638, 2 or −1.302775638
x3 – 3x2 – x + 6 = (x − 2)(x2 – x – 3)
Example 4:
Solve x3 − 3x2 + 3x − 1 = 0 and factorize x3 − 3x2 + 3x −1.
x = 1, 1 or 1.
x3 − 3x2 + 3x −1 = (x – 1)(x2–2x+1) = (x–1)(x–1)(x–1)(1)
Example 5:
Solve 2x3 + 8x2 + 10x + 4 = 0 and factorize 2x3 + 8x2 + 10x + 4.

x = −2, −1 or −1.
2x3 + 8x2 + 10x + 4 =(x + 2)(2x2+4x+2)=(x+2)(x+1)(x+1)(2)

2x3 + 8x2 + 10x + 4 = (x+1)(2x2+6x+4)=(x+1)(x+2)(x+1)(2)
