To factorize the expression x3+13x2+32x+20x^3 + 13x^2 + 32x + 20, we can use the Factor Theorem and polynomial division.

  1. Use the Factor Theorem to find a root.

    We test integer divisors of the constant term (20).
    Let P(x)=x3+13x2+32x+20P(x) = x^3 + 13x^2 + 32x + 20.
    Try x=−1x = -1:

    P(−1)=(−1)3+13(−1)2+32(−1)+20P(-1) = (-1)^3 + 13(-1)^2 + 32(-1) + 20 P(−1)=−1+13(1)−32+20P(-1) = -1 + 13(1) - 32 + 20 P(−1)=−1+13−32+20P(-1) = -1 + 13 - 32 + 20 P(−1)=33−33=0P(-1) = 33 - 33 = 0

    Since P(−1)=0P(-1) = 0, (x−(−1))(x - (-1)), which is (x+1)(x + 1), is a factor of the polynomial.

  2. Perform synthetic division to divide x3+13x2+32x+20x^3 + 13x^2 + 32x + 20 by (x+1)(x + 1).

    -1 | 1   13   32   20
       |     -1  -12  -20
       ------------------
         1   12   20    0
    

    The quotient is x2+12x+20x^2 + 12x + 20.

  3. Factor the quadratic quotient x2+12x+20x^2 + 12x + 20.

    We look for two numbers that multiply to 20 and add up to 12. These numbers are 2 and 10.

    x2+12x+20=(x+2)(x+10)x^2 + 12x + 20 = (x + 2)(x + 10)
  4. Combine all factors to get the fully factorized expression.

    x3+13x2+32x+20=(x+1)(x+2)(x+10)x^3 + 13x^2 + 32x + 20 = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10)

    The fully factorized expression is:

    (x+1)(x+2)(x+10)\boxed{(x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10)}
