You asked:

Factor the expression: \(\displaystyle {x}^{3} - {x}^{2} + {x}^{1} - 1\)

MathBot Answer:

Factorization over the rational numbers:

\[\left(x^{2} + 1\right) \left(x - 1\right)\]

Factorization over the complex numbers:

\[\left(x - 1\right) \left(x - i\right) \left(x + i\right)\]


\(i\) is the imaginary unit, defined as \(i^2 = -1\).
