It's not enough to copy the question off the test. If you don't tell us what the trinomial is, we can't factor it for you.

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


What are the factor as a polynomial in descending order 2x2 7x 5?

If you mean: 2x2+7x+5 then it is (2x+5)(x+1) when factored


How do you factor a polynomial if their are more than one factors?

Factor it once, and then factor the factors.


How do you factor a trinomial that equals zero?

just like factoring any other trinomial.


What is the greatest number that is a factor each of two or more numbers?

it depends on the power of the leading coefficient, and that is not always a great indication because polynomials can have non real numbers. A factor of a polynomial is where the function crosses the x axis. If the trinomial will not factor into real numbers, then there are not any real zeros but there are still factors. Think of this one x^2+6x+14. this will not factor into real numbers, but complex solutions. But these complex solutions are factors, so the rule still holds. If the trinomial is a cubic, or at a odd power, then its a odd function, and can have one real solution. If the trinomial is squared, or any even power, its a even function and can have two real solutions. With the graph you can determine it this way: if p(x) is a polynomial function of degree n, then the graph has at most n-1 turning points. If the graph of a function P has n-1 turning points, then the degree of p(x) is at least n.
