Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you are concerned with the cubic

  x³ -9x² -14x +24

Its factors are all irrational, as shown in the attached graph. x-3 is not a factor.

__

x-3 is a factor if the expression evaluates to zero when x=3. Here, it does not.

  ((x -9)x -14)x +24 for x=3 is ...

  ((3 -9)(3) -14)(3) +24 = (-18 -14)(3) +24 = -96 +24 = -72

The remainder from division by x-3 is not zero, so x-3 is not a factor.
