Factoring Polynomials - Math
https://www.math.utah.edu/~wortman/1050-text-fp.pdfFactoring Polynomials Any natural number that is greater than 1 can be factored into a product of prime numbers. For example 20 = (2)(2)(5) and 30 = (2)(3)(5). In this chapter we’ll learn an analogous way to factor polynomials. Fundamental Theorem of Algebra A monic polynomial is a polynomial whose leading coecient equals 1.
Factoring Polynomials - CliffsNotes
www.cliffsnotes.com › factoring-polynomialsSince each term in the polynomial is divisible by both x and 5, the greatest common factor is 5 x. In factored form, the polynomial is written 5 x(3 x 2 + x − 5). (b) 18 x 3 y 5 z 4 + 6 x 2 yz 3 − 9 x 2 y 3 z 2. The largest monomial by which each of the terms is evenly divisible, thus the greatest common factor, is 3 x 2 yz 2, so factor it out. Factoring by grouping
