I appreciate this but Is there a way to make the answers more specific? like if I had 3x^2-48x+144 and the answer is 3(x-4)(x-12) while the calculator just says 4 and 12
if your function uses division you may have a divide by 0 error assume you have (x^3+6x^2+11x+6x) as a denominator that factors out to (x+1)(x+2)(x+3) whenever x=-1 or -2 or -3 the entire denominator equals zero and you cant divide by zero, therefore it is a divide by zero error If you need to find what point is missing you could factor those values out of the top if you are able to factor out (x+1) from the top AND bottom of the equation, you could solve for what y would theoretically equal at x=-1 keep in mind this point dosent acctualy exist, and is what is called a discontinuity (another method is just to plug in a value really close to -1 for x, which is basicaly how limits work) this only works if you are running into a removable discontinuity
it’s probably because you are clicking the subtraction button instead of the “(-)” button that is used for negative numbers. It should be on the bottom right of your calculator
it's all possible factors of the constant if the leading coefficient is 1 (including the constant and positive and negative factors). I recommend looking up the rational root theorem.

This is a lifesaver! I will definitely be using this on my final :)
When Ontario public schools teach more than American private universities 😂 thank you I was looking for this all day!

My math teacher told me it couldnt be done man will she be mad now
Question, are the possible factors derived from '6'?
The possible factors of 6 (the last number) which are 1,2,3, and 6
Why do I get an error when I do -2 or -1 or -3??
if your function uses division you may have a divide by 0 error
assume you have (x^3+6x^2+11x+6x) as a denominator
that factors out to (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)
whenever x=-1 or -2 or -3 the entire denominator equals zero
and you cant divide by zero, therefore it is a divide by zero error
If you need to find what point is missing you could factor those values out of the top
if you are able to factor out (x+1) from the top AND bottom of the equation, you could solve for what y would theoretically equal at x=-1
keep in mind this point dosent acctualy exist, and is what is called a discontinuity
(another method is just to plug in a value really close to -1 for x, which is basicaly how limits work)
this only works if you are running into a removable discontinuity

Thanks v much.
How do you know what numbers to use
did you ever figure it out because I am having the same problem
@@appointedbard1076 no my bad
