a2-b2 = (a-b)(a+b)
Suppose you have a polynomial, p(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x^2 + a3x^3 + ... + anx^n then (ax - b) is a factor of the polynomial if and only if p(b/a) = 0

The given polynomial does not have factors with rational coefficients.
if a is number of tiles high and b is tiles wide then, (x+a) = height and (x+b) = width so the polynomial is (x+a)(x+b).

If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised.
Factor the polynomial x2 - 10x + 25. Enter each factor as a polynomial in descending order.
One example is the special pattern known as difference of squares. For any a and b we have a2-b2= (a-b)(a+b) We can do similar things with sums and differences of cubes when the patten tells us how to factor the polynomial. So if we have 16x2-4=(4x)2-22=(4x-2)(4x+2) using the pattern.
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.The factor theorem states that a polynomial has a factor if and only if
