In that case, it may, or may not, be possible to factor it using non-integer coefficients.

How do you factor percentages?

If the percentage is an integer value, it can be factored in the same way as any other integer and if it is not, it cannot be factored.


How do you solve a factoring polynomials problem if there is no greatest common factor?

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.


7w squared minus 17w plus 16?

7w2 -17w+16 is a polynomial that cannot be factored. We call this a prime polynomial.There are also no like terms to combine. So nothing much more can be done with this polynomial. If you wanted to find the roots or the zeros, you could use the quadratic formula.


How do you factor the polynomial 2x 16?

To factor the polynomial 2x^2 + 16, we first look for a common factor. In this case, both terms are divisible by 2, so we can factor out a 2 to get 2(x^2 + 8). Next, we check if the remaining quadratic expression x^2 + 8 can be factored further. Since x^2 + 8 cannot be factored further over the real numbers, the factored form of the polynomial is 2(x^2 + 8).


How do you change 3861 into a mixed number?

You cannot. 3861 is an integer and so is not a mixed number. You cannot. 3861 is an integer and so is not a mixed number. You cannot. 3861 is an integer and so is not a mixed number. You cannot. 3861 is an integer and so is not a mixed number.

A polynomial that can not be factored is called?

If a number cannot be factored it is a prime number.


Can a constant be considered a polynomial?

No, a constant cannot be considered a polynomial because it is only a single term. A polynomial is defined as an expression that consists of the variables and coefficients that involves only the operations of subtraction, addition, multiplication, and the non-negative integer exponents.

No, integer linear programming is NP-hard and cannot be solved in polynomial time.


Factor this polynomial completely a-ab-42b?

Too bad that's not a^2 - ab - 42b^2 That factors to (a + 6b)(a - 7b)


Which polynomial has rational coefficients a leading leading coefficient of 1 and the zeros at 2-3i and 4?

There cannot be such a polynomial. If a polynomial has rational coefficients, then any complex roots must come in conjugate pairs. In this case the conjugate for 2-3i is not a root. Consequently, either (a) the function is not a polynomial, or (b) it does not have rational coefficients, or (c) 2 - 3i is not a root (nor any other complex number), or (d) there are other roots that have not been mentioned. In the last case, the polynomial could have any number of additional (unlisted) roots and is therefore indeterminate.

How do you answer polynomial?

You can evaluate a polynomial, you can factorise a polynomial, you can solve a polynomial equation. But a polynomial is not a specific question so it cannot be answered.


what is irreducible?

An irreducible equation is an irreducible polynomial which is equal to zero. A polynomial is irreducible over a particular type of number if it cannot be factorised into the products of two or more lower degree polynomials with coefficients of that type of number. For example, the equation x2 + 1 =0 is irreducible over the real numbers; there are no lower order polynomials, containing only real coefficients, which could be multiplied together to give this equation.


How do you factor polynomials into binomials and trinomials?

Here are the steps to factoring a trinomial of the form x2 + bx + c , with c > 0 . We assume that the coefficients are integers, and that we want to factor into binomials with integer coefficients.Write out all the pairs of numbers which can be multiplied to produce c .Add each pair of numbers to find a pair that produce b when added. Call the numbers in this pair d and e .If b > 0 , then the factored form of the trinomial is (x + d )(x + e) . If b < 0 , then the factored form of the trinomial is (x - d )(x - e) .Check: The binomials, when multiplied, should equal the original trinomial.Note: Some trinomials cannot be factored. If none of the pairs total b , then the trinomial cannot be factored.
