The polynomial factors into .

Solución

We begin with the polynomial written as a sum of two groups:
Step 1. Factor the first group. Notice that
is a quadratic in (with coefficients involving ). We look for two numbers and such that
A good choice is and so that:
Step 2. Factor the second group. Factor out the common factor in
we have
Notice is a difference of two squares:
Thus,
Step 3. Write the whole expression as the sum:
Now, factor out the common factor :
Step 4. Simplify the expression in the brackets:
Thus, the original polynomial factors as:
The factorization shows that one of the factors is and the other factor is .

Extra Insights

Simplifying the polynomial expression first, we combine like terms: . Factor by grouping or using the Rational Root Theorem to find potential rational roots, leading to possible factors. Testing values for and can make discovering the roots less daunting!
When exploring polynomials, remember that they can often be seen as more than just mathematical expressions – think of them like recipes! Each term represents an ingredient that combines to create something delicious (the polynomial itself). Tactics like synthetic division or factoring by grouping can help you find the right proportions and uncover those factors, turning baking into a piece of cake!
