x2 - 81
first you split it apart by writing to separate paranthesis.
( )( )
second since you have two x's you write them first in both paranthesis
(x )(x )
third you recognize what number multiplied by what number equals 81. and also these numbers when added or subtracts need to equal zero. many things multiply to equal 81 but only 9 and 9 multiply to equal 81 and also subtract to equal zero.
(x 9)(x 9)
fourth you haveto figure out the sign. do you put a plus or minus in either one or both. you have to put a minus is one and a plus in the other because you need one positive and one negative so you will get 9x-9x=0 and 9 * -9 = -81
(x - 9)(x + 9) is your answer

What does factor theorem mean?
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.The factor theorem states that a polynomial has a factor if and only if
How do you factor a polynomial if their are more than one factors?
Factor it once, and then factor the factors.
When you factor with tiles the height and width of the rectangle are the factors of the polynomial?
True
How do you factor the cubic polynomial 4x3 plus 20x2 plus 2x-3?
This polynomial doesn't factor. The only thing you can do is take out parts of some terms, e.g. 2(2x3 + 10x2 + x) - 3.
How do you factor each polynomial by its GCF?
Divide the GCF into each to get the other factors.
