How is factoring a polynomial different from multiplying two binomials?

The same way that factoring a number is different from multiplying two factors. In general, it is much easier to multiply two factors together, than to find factors that give a certain product.


What are the laws of factoring polynomials?

The laws of factoring polynomials include several key principles: First, identify common factors among terms to factor them out. Second, apply special factoring techniques, such as the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and the sum or difference of cubes. Third, use the quadratic formula or factoring by grouping for polynomials of higher degrees. Lastly, always check for irreducibility, ensuring the polynomial is factored completely.

How do you tell if a polynomial cannot be factored?

Try all the factoring techniques that you have been taught. If none work then it is prime (cannot be factored), try looking for (1) a greatest common factor (2) special binomials ... difference of squares, difference (or sum) of cubes (3) trinomal factoring techniques (4) other polymonials look for grouping techniques.
