What does it mean to factor a polynomial?

Back

Factoring a polynomial means expressing it as a product of its factors, which are polynomials of lower degrees.

What are the zeroes of a polynomial?

Back

The zeroes of a polynomial are the values of the variable that make the polynomial equal to zero.

Front

How do you find the zeroes of a polynomial?

Back

To find the zeroes of a polynomial, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for the variable.

What is the Factor Theorem?

Back

The Factor Theorem states that if a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x - c), then f(c) = 0.
