What do you call a polynomial that cannot be factored?

• nonfactorable

• Simplified

• Prime

• Proper

Given that x - 3 is a known factor. Factor the cubic polynomial: x³ - 4x² + x + 6. (Hint: Use long division 1st)

• (2x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)

• (2x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 2)

• (x - 3)(x + 2)(x - 1)

• (x - 3)(x + 1)(x - 2)
