Leading coefficient 2, zeroes = 2, √2, -√2
So...we can write this as
2 ( x - 2) (x - √2) (x + √2) =
2(x - 2) (x^2 - 2) =
2 (x^3 - 2x^2 - 2x + 4) =
2x^3 - 4x^2 - 4x + 8
Similarly....we have
Leading coefficient -1, zeroes = 1, 1 +√3, 1-√3
-1 ( x -1) ( x - [1 +√3] ) ( x - [ 1 -√3] ) =
-1 (x - 1) ( x^2 - [ 1 + √3]x - [ 1 -√3] x + [1 +√3] [1 -√3] ) =
-1 (x - 1) (x^2 - x - √3x - x + √3x + 1 - 3 ) =
-1 (x - 1) (x^2 - 2x -2) =
-1( x^3 -x^2 - 2x^2 + 2x - 2x + 2) =
-1 (x^3 - 3x^2 + 2) =
-x^3 + 3x^2 - 2
