How do you know if you have simplified a polynomial correctly?
I suppose you mean factoring the polynomial. You can check by multiplying the factors - the result should be the original polynomial.
What are prime polynomials?
A polynomial that can't be separated into smaller factors.
If the factors of a polynomial are x plus 2 and x plus 6 what values of x make that polynomial 0?
-2 and -6
Are a polynomial's factors the values at which the graph of a polynomial meets the y-axis?
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.
What is the polynomial in descending order for 12x2 plus 20x - 25?
12x2 + 20x - 25 IS a polynomial that factors into (2x + 5)(6x - 5)

Why might it be useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial function?
It is useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial because they give you the zeros of the polynomial. If (x-c) is one of the linear factors of a polynomial, then p(c)=0. Here the notation p(x) is used to denoted a polynomial function at p(c) means the value of that function when evaluated at c. Conversely, if d is a zero of the polynomial, then (x-d) is a factor.
How do you find a degree of a graphed polynomial?

What is the polynomial when each of its factors is prime?
Completely Factored
If the factors of a polynomial are x - 2 and x - 5 what values of x make that polynomial 0?
2 or 5
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 polynomial with the equation of 6A2 - B 2?
The given polynomial does not have factors with rational coefficients.
What are prime polynomials?
