2x - 6 - 8x = x - 6 + 4

3.2 Factoring: 2x6-8x4+x3-13
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: x3-13
Group 2: 2x6-8x4
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (x3-13) • (1)
Group 2: (x2-4) • (2x4)
Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :
The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

3.3 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 2x6-8x4+x3-13
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers
The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient
In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 2 and the Trailing Constant is -13.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,2
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,13
