  • If you are looking to see the factor theorem explained with an example, this is the video for you! With the factor theorem, polynomials are factorable by finding factors that make the function equal to zero.
    The first question you have to ask is what is the polynomial divisible by. To answer this, start by subbing in factors of the constant term of the polynomial function. When you get zero, you have found a binomial that is a factor of the polynomial.
    Once a factor is found, polynomial long division or synthetic division can be applied to fully factor the polynomial.

    A couple corrections! -2 and -3 also make the function equal to zero. Also, the final factored expression should have x+3 instead of x-3. I guess I rushed this one!

    Howdy friend, would just like to say:
    The ratio between the 2nd and 1st term is the same as the ratio between the 4th and 3rd term implying that you can factorising by grouping.

    Wait I’m confused for 18 you only used factors +-1 2 and 3 but u didn’t use +-6 or 18. Or is that because 3 solves it

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel  10 місяців тому

      Correct. You really only have to find a number that makes the polynomial zero. There is no need to test or find all of the factors up front.

    so x-3 is the same as x=3?

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel  2 роки тому

      If x=3 makes the polynomial equal to zero, we can say that x-3 is a factor. This is the same x=3 that we use in the synthetic division table. Does this clear it up?

    • @nastudios915
      @nastudios915 10 місяців тому

      Yes because x-3=0 means x=3 they don’t always include the zero but if it doesn’t then that’s it

      That last step is just trinomial factoring. There is actually an error in the last step though It should be (x-3)(x+2)(x+3)
