    Step-by-step explanation:

    Prime numbers have only one factor pair, the number itself and 1. Some polynomials can be factored and some cannot be so a polynomial is a prime polynomial if it can't be factored into the standard linear form of (x+a) ((x+b).

    For the given polynomial x^3+3x^2+2x+6

    Re-arranging the Polynomial to find out whether it could be factored or not

    x^3+2x+3x^2+6=0

    x (x^2+2) + 3 (x^2+2) = 0

    (x+3) (x^2+2) = 0

    x+3=0 and x^2+2=0

    x=-3, x^2 = - 2

    x=-3, x=sqrt (-2), x = - sqrt (-2)

    As the polynomial is factorable it is not prime
