Every polynomial defines a function, often called P. Any value of x for which P(x) = 0 is a root of the equation and a zero of the function. So,
P(x) = x^2 - x - 35
0 = X^2 - x - 35 or,
x^2 - x - 35 = 0
We can factor this equation as (x - r1)(x - r2) = 0. Let's find r1 and r2:
x^2 - x - 35 = 0 add 35 to both sides;
x^2 - x = 35 ad to both sides 1/4 in order to complete the square;
x^2 - x + 1/4 = 35 + 1/4
(x - 1/2)2 = 141/4
x - 1/2 = +,- square root of 141/4
x = 1/2 +,- 1/2(square root of 141)
x = (1 + square root of 141)/2 or
x = (1 - square root of 141)/2
So the factorization is:
[x - (1 + square root of 141)/2 ] [x - (1 - square root of 141)/2 ]

Start by looking for a common factor. Separate this factor, then factor the remaining polynomial.

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.

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

Suppose p(x) is a polynomial in x. Then p(a) = 0 if and only if (x-a) is a factor of p(x).
