(3x + 4)(3x + 4)
Factor the polynomial x2 - 10x + 25. Enter each factor as a polynomial in descending order.
(x-3)(x+8)
(x - 3)(x - 3)
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.
