What is X to the third power minus X to the second power plus X?

The expression ( X^3 - X^2 + X ) can be factored by taking ( X ) as a common factor. This gives us ( X(X^2 - X + 1) ). The quadratic ( X^2 - X + 1 ) does not factor further over the real numbers, so the final factored form is ( X(X^2 - X + 1) ).
