Suppose we are given a polynomial of degree $n$n - that is, the highest power of a variable in the polynomial is $n$n. What is the name of the process where we find two polynomials of degree less than $n$n that multiply together to give the original?
factoring
squaring
multiplying
expanding
We say that a polynomial is factored completely when it is written as a product of:
What is the opposite of factoring?
There are many methods we can use when factorising polynomials. What is the name of the process illustrated on the right?
