I suppose you mean factoring the polynomial. You can check by multiplying the factors - the result should be the original polynomial.

How is the degree of a simplified polynomial found?

The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest degree of its terms. In the case that there is no exponent, the degree is 1. If there is no variable, the degree is 0.

What is a simplified polynomial?

a simplified polynomial is a algebraic equation/expression with variables and constants that can can be written as a sum of terms. Simplified form is the opposite of factored form P(x) = ( 2x - 3)( x+4 ) Is a factored form - product of 2 factors. Simplify P(x) by using the distributive property: P(x) = 2x2 +8x - 3x -12 P(x) = 2x2 + 5x - 12 simplified : a sum of terms!

Why might it be useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial function?

It is useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial because they give you the zeros of the polynomial. If (x-c) is one of the linear factors of a polynomial, then p(c)=0. Here the notation p(x) is used to denoted a polynomial function at p(c) means the value of that function when evaluated at c. Conversely, if d is a zero of the polynomial, then (x-d) is a factor.
