x^{3}-3x-2
Multiply and combine like terms.
\left(x-2\right)\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right)
By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term -2 and q divides the leading coefficient 1. One such root is 2. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x-2.
\left(x+1\right)^{2}
Consider x^{2}+2x+1. Use the perfect square formula, a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}=\left(a+b\right)^{2}, where a=x and b=1.
\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
x^{3}-3x-2
Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.
