The given polynomial does not have factors with rational coefficients.
Oh, dude, it's like this: all quadratic equations are polynomials, but not all polynomials are quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is a specific type of polynomial that has a degree of 2, meaning it has a highest power of x^2. So, like, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, you know what I mean?
No, it’s true. It’s the same as saying if 60 is divided by 2 and the remainder equals zero (no remainder, so it divides perfectly), 2 is a factor of 60.
x3 - 2x2 + x - 2 =(x - 2)(x2 + 1)
True Yes. Although the term 'quad' stands for four, a quadratic equation is a polynomial of second degree.
(x + 2)(x - 8)
12a2-8a-2 2(6a2-4a-1)
The GCF of 6a^2 and 8a is 2a.
To factor a polynomial expression, you identify common factors among the terms and express the polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials. For example, consider the polynomial ( x^2 - 5x + 6 ); it factors into ( (x - 2)(x - 3) ). Each factor is written in descending order, starting with the highest degree term. The specific steps to factor will depend on the polynomial you are working with.
To determine the relationship between ( (x - 2) ) and the polynomial ( 2x^3 + x^2 - 3 ), we can perform polynomial division. If ( (x - 2) ) divides the polynomial evenly, then ( (x - 2) ) is a factor of the polynomial. Alternatively, we can evaluate the polynomial at ( x = 2 ); if the result is zero, it confirms that ( (x - 2) ) is a factor. In this case, substituting ( x = 2 ) gives ( 2(2)^3 + (2)^2 - 3 = 16 + 4 - 3 = 17 ), indicating that ( (x - 2) ) is not a factor of the polynomial.
When we solve an equation in mathematics we say that we find its root. Let f(x) = 0 be an equation. A root of the equation is a value k such that f(k) = 0. If f(x) is a polynomial, then f(x) = 0 is a polynomial equation. By the Factor Theorem, k is a root of this equation if and only if (x - k) is a factor of f(x). If (x - k) is a factor of f(x), then k is a simple root. If (x - k)^2 is a factor of f(x), then k is a double root. If (x - k)^3 is a factor of f(x), then k is a triple root, and so on. Thus, we can say that a root of order n, where n = 2 or n > 2, is a multiple (or repeated) root.
(x-2)(x-3)
The coefficient of a factor in a polynomial is a numerical value that multiplies that factor within the expression. For example, in the polynomial (3x^2 + 5x + 2), the coefficient of the factor (x^2) is 3, while the coefficient of (x) is 5. Coefficients can represent various quantities, such as weights or scaling factors, depending on the context in which the polynomial is used.
You can factor a polynomial using one of these steps: 1. Factor out the greatest common monomial factor. 2. Look for a difference of two squares or a perfect square trinomial. 3. Factor polynomials in the form ax^2+bx+c into a product of binomials. 4. Factor a polynomial with 4 terms by grouping.

-3b2(5b - 2)
Suppose you have a polynomial, p(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x^2 + a3x^3 + ... + anx^n then (ax - b) is a factor of the polynomial if and only if p(b/a) = 0
