  2. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    For example, 3 × 5 is an integer factorization of 15, and (x – 2)(x + 2) is a polynomial factorization of x 2 – 4. Factorization is not usually considered meaningful within number systems possessing division , such as the real or complex numbers , since any x {\displaystyle x} can be trivially written as ( x y ) × ( 1 / y ) {\displaystyle ...

  3. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    The factor x 24x + 8 is irreducible over the reals, as its discriminant (−4) 2 − 4×8 = −16 is negative. Thus the partial fraction decomposition over the reals has the shape Thus the partial fraction decomposition over the reals has the shape

  4. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    Then, f(x)g(x) = 4x 2 + 4x + 1 = 1. Thus deg( f ⋅ g ) = 0 which is not greater than the degrees of f and g (which each had degree 1). Since the norm function is not defined for the zero element of the ring, we consider the degree of the polynomial f ( x ) = 0 to also be undefined so that it follows the rules of a norm in a Euclidean domain.

  5. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression. For example, in the polynomial 7 x 2 − 3 x y + 1.5 + y , {\displaystyle 7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,} with variables x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} , the first two terms have the coefficients 7 and −3.

    The result x 2 is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −3x 2. Determine the partial remainder by subtracting −2x 2 − (−3x 2) = x 2. Mark −2x 2 as used and place the new remainder x 2 above it.

  7. Irreducible polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_polynomial

    In mathematics, an irreducible polynomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial that cannot be factored into the product of two non-constant polynomials.The property of irreducibility depends on the nature of the coefficients that are accepted for the possible factors, that is, the ring to which the coefficients of the polynomial and its possible factors are supposed to belong.

  8. Conway polynomial (finite fields) - Wikipedia

    Of the primitive ones, x 4 + 4x 2 + 4x + 2 is lexicographically minimal. Degree 5. The computation is similar to what was done in degrees 2 and 3: (5 5 − 1) / (5 1 − 1) = 781 ; C 5,1 ( x 781 ) = x 781 + 3 has one factor of degree 1 and 156 factors of degree 5, of which 140 are primitive.
