a2-b2 = (a-b)(a+b)
Start by looking for a common factor. Separate this factor, then factor the remaining polynomial.
Set each factor, in turn, equal to zero and solve for x.
An expression that completely divides a given polynomial without leaving a remainder is called a factor of the polynomial. This means that when the polynomial is divided by the factor, the result is another polynomial with no remainder. Factors of a polynomial can be found by using methods such as long division, synthetic division, or factoring techniques like grouping, GCF (greatest common factor), or special patterns.
Expand 4ab3 (a2b2-a-1)
factor 4y - 32
(a+b)(a-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.
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

a5+b5 = (a+b) (a4-a3b+a2b2-ab3+b4)
(c + d)(c - d)
The GCF is a2b.
The GCF is a2b
To factor a polynomial expression, you identify common factors among the terms and express the polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials. For example, consider the polynomial ( x^2 - 5x + 6 ); it factors into ( (x - 2)(x - 3) ). Each factor is written in descending order, starting with the highest degree term. The specific steps to factor will depend on the polynomial you are working with.
Set each factor, in turn, equal to zero and solve for x.
