You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \({a}^{3} - 5 {a}^{2} + 8 a - \frac{4}{a} - 2\)

MathBot Answer:

Evaluated



\(\displaystyle {a}^{3} - 5 {a}^{2} + 8 a - \frac{4}{a} - 2 = a^{3} - 5 a^{2} + 8 a - 2 - \frac{4}{a} \)


Factored

\[{a}^{3} - 5 {a}^{2} + 8 a - \frac{4}{a} - 2 = \frac{\left(a - 2\right) \left(a^{3} - 3 a^{2} + 2 a + 2\right)}{a}\]
