Question

The polynomial expression you find difficult to factor ? Why?

Answer 1

Factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF)

Find the GCF of all the terms in the polynomial.

Express each term as a product of the GCF and another factor.

Use the distributive property to factor out the GCF.

Answer 2

Answer:

Brainiest me

Step-by-step explanation:

Example. Factor p(x)=x3−x2−x+1 and find its roots.

We find that: p(x)=(x+1)(x−1)(x−1) (See Factoring Strategy 4 below.)

So, the roots of p(x) are x=−1 and x=1.

Example. Factor q(x)=x3+x2+x+1 and find its roots.

We find that: q(x)=(x+1)(x2+1). So, the only root of q(x) is x=−1.
