If one of the roots of the equation x^3−6x^2+11x−6=0 is 2, then the other two roots are?
Answer: 1 and 3
Explanation
If one root of the equation is 2, then we can factor the left-hand side of the equation as (x - 2)(x^2 - 4x + 3) = (x - 2)(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0.
This tells us that the other two roots are 1 and 3.
