Checking for a perfect cube :

 3.1    10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

 3.2      Factoring:  10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10 

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  6y - 10 
Group 2:  10y3 - 9y2 

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (3y - 5) • (2)
Group 2:   (10y - 9) • (y2)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

 3.3    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(y) = 10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  y  for which   F(y)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  y  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  10  and the Trailing Constant is  -10.

 
The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1,2 ,5 ,10
 
of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,5 ,10

 
Let us test ....

  P  Q  P/Q  F(P/Q)   Divisor
     -1     1      -1.00      -35.00   
     -1     2      -0.50      -16.50   
     -1     5      -0.20      -11.64   
     -1     10      -0.10      -10.70   
     -2     1      -2.00      -138.00   


Note - For tidiness, printing of 13 checks which found no root was suppressed

Polynomial Long Division :

 3.4    Polynomial Long Division
Dividing :  10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10 
                              ("Dividend")
By         :    2y + 3    ("Divisor")

dividend  10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10 
- divisor * 5y2   10y3 + 15y2     
remainder  - 24y2 + 6y - 10 
- divisor * -12y1   - 24y2 - 36y   
remainder      42y - 10 
- divisor * 21y0       42y + 63 
remainder      - 73 

Quotient :  5y2 - 12y + 21 
Remainder :  -73 

Final result :

  10y3 - 9y2 + 6y - 10
  ————————————————————
         2y + 3
