  2. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    Shifting the a 0 term to the right side and factoring out p on the left side produces: (+ + +) =. Thus, p divides a 0 q n . But p is coprime to q and therefore to q n , so by Euclid's lemma p must divide the remaining factor a 0 .

  3. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b).. In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.

  4. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    Modern algorithms and computers can quickly factor univariate polynomials of degree more than 1000 having coefficients with thousands of digits. [3] For this purpose, even for factoring over the rational numbers and number fields, a fundamental step is a factorization of a polynomial over a finite field.

  5. Trinomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial

    For instance, the polynomial x 2 + 3x + 2 is an example of this type of trinomial with n = 1. The solution a 1 = −2 and a 2 = −1 of the above system gives the trinomial factorization: x 2 + 3x + 2 = (x + a 1)(x + a 2) = (x + 2)(x + 1). The same result can be provided by Ruffini's rule, but with a more complex and time-consuming process.

  6. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms.

  7. Trinomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_expansion

    Layers of Pascal's pyramid derived from coefficients in an upside-down ternary plot of the terms in the expansions of the powers of a trinomial – the number of terms is clearly a triangular number. In mathematics, a trinomial expansion is the expansion of a power of a sum of three terms into monomials. The expansion is given by

  8. Factor theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_theorem

    Deduce the candidate of zero of the polynomial from its leading coefficient and constant term . (See Rational Root Theorem .) Use the factor theorem to conclude that ( x − a ) {\displaystyle (x-a)} is a factor of f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} .

  9. Discriminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminant

    where the discriminant is zero if and only if the two roots are equal. If a, b, c are real numbers, the polynomial has two distinct real roots if the discriminant is positive, and two complex conjugate roots if it is negative. [6] The discriminant is the product of a 2 and the square of the difference of the roots.
