What is the first step in factoring polynomials

Mathematics

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

Factor out the greatest common factor

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

To solve this problem, draw the situation for a better comprehension:

As we can see, the situation describes a right triangle and we can use pythagorean theorem to solve it.

To do this, use the corresponding units.

For inches:

\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{84^2-48^2} \\ h=\sqrt[]{7056-2304} \\ h=\sqrt[]{4752} \\ h=68.9 \end{gathered}

The suspect is 68.9 inches high.

Convert this height to feet:

68.9in\cdot(\frac{1ft}{12in})=5.74ft

The suspect is 5.74 feet high.

Form a polynomial function(x) with zeros: -2, multiplicity 1; 1, multiplicity 2; 5, multiplicity 3; and degree 6. Use 1 as the l
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Remember, a number a is a zero of the polynomial p(x) if p(a)=0. And a has multiplicity n if the factor (x-a) appear n times in the factorization of p(x).

1. Since -2 is a zero with multiplicity 1, then (x+2) is a factor of the polynomial.

2. Since 1 is a zero with multiplicity 2, then (x-1) is a factor of the polynomial and appear 2 times.

3. Since 5 is a zero with multiplicity 3, then (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial and appear 3 times.

Then, the polynomial function with the zeros described above is

p(x)=(x+2)(x-1)^2(x-5)^3= x^6-15x^5+72x^4-78x^3-255x^2+525x-250
