The factored polynomial is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given polynomial is
Concept used:
The factorization of a polynomials involves breaking up a polynomial into simpler terms (the factors) such that when the terms are multiplied together they equal the original polynomial.
Calculations:
The given polynomial (say P ) is
Now, determine factors of -3 whose sum is 1 that is not possible as
So we try perfect square method and difference of two square. For,
Thus, the factored polynomial is
Conclusion:
The factored polynomial is
