Yes, first you find the p(x) = 0. I'll give you an example.

x^3-13x+12

p(-4)=-64 + 52 + 12 = 0

so (x+4) is a factor

Now open the bracket for x+4 and fix the other bracket

Firstly, we know that to get x^3 with x, we need to multiply it by x^2

(x+4)(x^2....)

Now, as you can see, by getting the x^3, you have also created a 4x^2. And if you look back into your equation, you need a -13x, so we need to somehow get rid of the 4x^2. We can do this by subtracting 4x from the next bracket.

(x+4)(x^2-4x....)

See how the x will multiply with the -4x to give you -4x^2? But now we have also created a -16x (the 4 x -4x), and the equation wants -13x, so we need to add 3x back.

(x+4)(x^2-4x+3)

Now we have our -13x, but we have also created a +12. Looking back into the rule, we need the +12, and so we have found 2 factors of the polynomial.

Finally, we can simplify the second bracket into another 2 factors, which gives us:

(x+4)(x-3)(x-1) as our factors.

What is the shortcut for dividing a number by a multiple of 10?

The multiple of ten can be reduced to the smaller number by moving the decimal place of the numerator one place to the left. However, this may only be a marginal short cut. For example, dividing 1256 by 3450 is equivalent to dividing 125.6 by 345 but that is hardly a shortcut!


Are polynomials closed under the operations of subtraction addition and multiplication?

Yes, polynomials are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. This means that when you add, subtract, or multiply two polynomials, the result is always another polynomial. For example, if ( p(x) ) and ( q(x) ) are polynomials, then ( p(x) + q(x) ), ( p(x) - q(x) ), and ( p(x) \cdot q(x) ) are all polynomials as well. However, polynomials are not closed under division, as dividing one polynomial by another can result in a non-polynomial expression.


How will you Dividing polynomials?

Dividing polynomials can be done using either long division or synthetic division. In long division, you divide the leading term of the dividend by the leading term of the divisor, multiply the entire divisor by that result, subtract it from the dividend, and repeat the process with the new polynomial. Synthetic division is a faster method applicable when dividing by a linear binomial, where you use the coefficients of the polynomial and perform a series of multiplications and additions. Both methods will yield a quotient and a remainder.
