How do you factor polynomials?

Mathematics

Answer:

In mathematics, factorization or factoring is the breaking apart of a polynomial into a product of other smaller polynomials. If you choose, you could then multiply these factors together, and you should get the original polynomial (this is a great way to check yourself on your factoring skills). One set of factors, for example, of 24 is 6 and 4 because 6 times 4 = 24. When you have a polynomial, one way of solving it is to factor it into the product of two binomials.

You have multiple factoring options to choose from when solving polynomial equations:

For a polynomial, no matter how many terms it has, always check for a greatest common factor (GCF) first. Literally, the greatest common factor is the biggest expression that will go into all of the terms. Using the GCF is like doing the distributive property backward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harmony used discarded paper to make notepads for her friends. She would fold five letter size pieces of paper three times then
Anna11 [10]
First fold of a piece of paper produces two smaller pieces of paper
Second fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 4 smaller pieces of paper.
Third fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 8 smaller pieces of paper.

Thus, the five letter size pieces of paper folded three times produces 8 x 5 = 40 notes.

Thus, one notepad consists of 40 notes.

If someone wrote ten notes per day, then one notepad will last for 4 days.

Find an equation for the inverse of the following relation.<br><br> y=12x-3
vovikov84 [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

<em>Your answer would be y=x+3/12</em>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Firstly, you'll switch sides of the equation.

<em>y=12x+3 ---> x=12y-3</em>

Next, add 3 to both sides.

<em>x=12y-3 ---> 12y-3+3=x+3</em>

Simplify it.

<em>12y-3+3=x+3 ---> 12y=x+3</em>

Then, divide both sides by 12.

<em>12y=x+3 ---> 12y/12 = x/12 + 3/12</em>

Simplify once more.

12y/12 = x/12 + 3/12 --- y= x+3/12

<u>y=x+3/12 would be your answer.</u>
