    Factoring

    Polynomials
    OBJECTIVE

     factor polynomials.
    Recall:

    The Factor Theorem has implications for


    polynomial functions. That is, if x – c is a
    factor of P(x), then P(c) = 0. In other words, c
    is a solution (or root) of P(x) = 0.
    Recall:
    The Rational Root Theorem
    Given a polynomial P(x) defined by
    P(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 +… + a1x + a0
    with integer coefficients and where n is a non-
    negative integer, the possible rational roots of
    p
    P(x) are of the form , where p is a factors of q
    a0 and q is a factors of an.
    Example
    Determine whether x + 5 is a
    factor of x3 + 7x2 + 2x – 40.
    Let P(x) = x3 + 7x2 + 2x – 40
    P(–5) = (–5)3 + 7(–5)2 + 2(–5) – 40
    = –125 + 175 – 10 – 40
    =0
    because P(–5) = 0, x + 5 is a factor of
    x3 + 7x2 + 2x – 40.
    Example
    Factor x3 – 2x2 – 11x + 12.
    factors of 12 ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12
    factors of 1
