Factorize into irreducible polynomials

372 Views Asked by At

Trying to factorize the following polynomial into irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$:

$$f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 1.$$

So this factorizes into $(3x-1)(x^2 + x + 1)$ where $x^2 + x + 1$ is irreducible but I'm not sure what to do with $3x-1$.

Any help would be appreciated.
