For polynomials with real coefficients there is partial fraction expansion used in calculus to compute integrals. For polynomials with complex numbers as coefficients the factorization is …

1 I have the polynomial: $$2x^5-x^4+10x^3-5x^2+8x-4$$ and I know that the final result is: $$ (2x-1) (x^4+5x^2+4) = (2x-1) (x^2+1) (x^2+4)$$ But how would you do it step by step? I've seen a …

The way to factor a four-term polynomial like this is to apply Rational Root Theorem along with synthetic division or substitution to determine whether a rational root works for the polynomial …

Jan 7, 2016 · 1 The problem of factoring polynomials is in general difficult and/or labor-intensive, but for the sake of concreteness, I'll indicate one way to factor the example polynomial that …

Sep 4, 2018 · Are linear polynomials irreducible? Modulo $28$ we have "factorizations" like $$ (7x-1) (8x+1)=-x-1.$$ The leading coefficients in the left are necessarily zero divisors, but?

Mar 3, 2017 · The general method is to find roots through guess and check (plug into the function, check it comes out to zero) then use polynomial division to pull the linear factor out of the …

I'm learning how to factor polynomials, but I'm having a hard time understanding the approach when the 2nd degree coefficient is greater than $1$. For example, when I begin to factor …
