The factored form of a polynomial is comprised of factors in which the sum is equal to the coefficient of the second term and the product is equal to th…
That would be (x - 2) ( x - 5) ( x - 5). If you like, you can multiply these polynomials to get a single polynomial in standard form (i.e., not factored).
Not quite. The polynomial's linear factors are related - not equal to - the places where the graph meets the x-axis. For example, the polynomial x2 - 5x + 6, in factored form, is (x - 2) (x - 3). In this case, +2 and +3 are "zeroes" of the polynomial, i.e., the graph crosses the x-axis. That is, in an x-y graph, y = 0.
3y-6y in factored form = -3
It would be the "A" value/term. Standard from is Ax+By=C.
