# 328
By the rational root theorem:
Can only have these rational roots {-1/1,-1/2,-2/2,-2/1,1,1/2,2}
plugging them in we get roots of -2,1/2 and 1
Which means the factorization is of the form

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
