Answer:

[tex]f(x)=(x^2+3)(x-2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

so [tex]f(x)= x^3-2x^2+3x-6\\[/tex]

In order to factor this we try to factor it based on the order so:

[tex]x^3-2x^2+3x-6[/tex]

If you look at this equation we can see that the first two terms are factorable:

[tex]x^3-2x^2=\\x^2(x-2)[/tex]

And the last two terms are also factorable:

[tex]3x-6=\\3(x-2)[/tex]

Combining them together we get:

[tex]f(x)=x^2(x-2)+3(x-2)[/tex]

We can see that in these terms (x-2) is common so we can rewrite this as:

[tex]f(x)=(x^2+3)(x-2)[/tex]
