To help you factor f(x), I'll need the equation of f(x). Could you please provide the function or equation you are working with? Once you do, I can guide you through the steps to factor it and provide evidence for the correct factored form.
Take care,

To get the factored form of f(x)f(x)f(x), the steps are:
Find the polynomial function f(x)f(x)f(x) – Examine the terms. If provided graphically or through a table, identify the roots. Roots are at zeros (next step).
Identify the roots (zeros) – Solve f(x)=0, f(x)=0, & f(x)=0 to find values of x, x, x above; where the function equals zero.
Write the factored form – Use the roots to express f(x)f(x)f(x) as a product of factors in the form:
f(x)=a(x−r1)(x−r2)…(x−rn) f(x)=a(x - r_1)(x - r_2)...(x - r_n) f(x)=a(x−r1)(x−r2)…(x−rn) where r1,r2,…,rn & r_1, r_2,..., r_n & r1,r2,…,rn are the roots of the polynomial.
Verify with expansion – Multiply the factors to check if they match the given polynomial f(x)f(x)f(x).
Confirm multiplicity – If a root appears multiple times, adjust the exponent accordingly.
For specific polynomials, work through the steps explicitly to derive the factored form.

The question is from Algebra 1.01/31/25

Yes, and it doesn’t include the actual f(x) function. This outlines the generic approach in case that’s what is of interest.01/31/25
