How to factor polynomials:
Summary of Factoring TechniquesFor all polynomials, first factor out the greatest common factor (GCF).For a binomial, check to see if it is any of the following:
a.difference of squares: x2 − y2 = ( x + y) ( x − y) b.difference of cubes: x3 − y3 = ( x − y) ( x2 + xy + y2) c.sum of cubes: x3 + y3 = ( x + y) ( x2 − xy + y2)
For a trinomial, use the Tax2 + bx + c:
Step1: Factor the numeratorand denominator completely
