how to factor polynomial

Sagot :


Look for patterns like the numerical coefficients are divisible by 2 or have the same variable.

2x+10y

2(x+5y)

or

4xy+3xz

x(4y+3z)

When we factor polynomials, we use the following methods:

For all polynomials:
   ⇒ GCF

For binomials:
   ⇒ Difference of Two Squares (DOTS)
   
⇒ Sum or difference of two cubes (SDOTC)

For trinomials:
   ⇒ Perfect Square Trinomial (PST)
   ⇒ Quadratic Trinomial (QT)

For multinomials:
   ⇒ Factoring by Grouping (FBG)
