Answer:
(x–1)(x²–6x+6)
Explanation:
Given that 1 is a zero, we can use synthetic division to compute the factor.
If 1 is a zero (x–1) is a factor.
Here is the process:
| 1 | 1 -7 12 -6
↓ +(1) +(-6) +(6)
↓ ↓ ↓
1 -6 6 0
→ [1]x² + [-6]x + [6]1 + [0]/x–1 =
x² – 6x + 6.
Therefore the factors are (x–1)(x²–6x+6)
