Can someone describe the strategy for factoring a polynomial? Please give an example showing all of the steps. Thanks.

Answer 1

I searched Google under the key words "<I>factor polynomial</I>" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
