I have the problem $x^3 - 2x^2$. My book tells me that this problem is simplified to $x^3 (1 -(\frac{2}{x}))$. How does that work?
This step of my book I am in about the "end behavior" of trying to graph a polynomial function. Apparently once you get $x^3 (1 -(\frac{2}{x}))$, its equivalent is just $x^3$.
