This week, I have learned how to factor polynomial. For me, it was very easy because I use a little trick to factor polynomial.
For example
+ 4x – 6
Since they have GCF of 2 this can simplified very easily.
After first step it should look like
2( + 2x – 3)
Next we will factor
- 1 1 = 1
- -1 + 3 = 2
- (x-1)(x+3)
The first two row, you multiply. Then the last row, you add. Its easy as that.
