Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x³ - 3x² + 2x - 336 = 0
Find one factor of the polynomial
That's
x - 8
because when its value is equated to zero substituted into the polynomial will give you zero
Factorize x - 8 out
We have
(x - 8) ( x² + 5x + 42) = 0
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
x² + 5x + 42 = 0
Since the roots of this quadratic equation are complex and are not real numbers
x = 8
