• A polynomial function is a function such as a
quadratic, a cubic, a quartic, and so on, involving
only non-negative integer powers of x
• For example, f(x) = 4x ³ − 3x ² + 2 is a polynomial of

degree 3, as 3 is the highest power of x in the
formula.
A) CONSTANT POLYNOMIALS
A constant polynomial is the same thing as a
constant function of the form p(x) = c
Example : q(x) = 7.
B) LINEAR POLYNOMIALS
A linear polynomial is any polynomial defined by an
equation of the form p(x) = ax + b
Example, f(x)=3x - 7
A) QUADRATIC POLYNOMIALS
A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2.
has the form p(x) = ax² + bx + c
Example : h(x) = 4x² − 2x − 4
B) CUBIC POLYNOMIALS
A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3
equation of the form p(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
Example, g(x) = 4x³− 3x² + x

 Factoring a polynomial means expressing it
as a product of other polynomials.
This process is basically the REVERSE
of the distributive property.
distributive property
( x  2)( x  5)  x  3x  10 2
factoring
 Factoring by using different methods :
 Common monomial factor (using Great Common
Factor – GCF and highest degree)
 Grouping
 Perfect square
 Difference of two squares
 Sums & differences of cubes
i. The first step in factoring a polynomial is
to find the GCF of all its terms.
ii. Then we write the polynomial as a product

by factoring out the GCF from all the
terms.
iii. The remaining factors in each term will

form a polynomial.
Example 1 : Factor 4x2 – 12x + 20
4x2 = 2 · 2 · x · x , 12x = 2 · 2 · 3 · x , 20 =
2·2·5
Therefore, GCF = 4.
4x2 – 12x + 20 = 4x2 – 4 · 3x + 4 · 5
= 4(x 2 – 3x + 5)
Example 2 : Factor 6x – 9x2 + 12x
3
6x3 = 3·x ·2 · x2 , 9x2 = 3 · x · 3 ·x , 12x = 3 · x

·4
Therefore, GCF = 3x.
6x3 – 9x2 + 12x = 3x · 2x2 – 3x · 3x + 3x · 4
= 3x(2x2 – 3x + 4) 8
Example 3 : Factor 14x3y + 7x2y – 7xy
14x3y = 7·x2·y·2·x , 7x2y = 7·x·y·x , 7xy = 7·x·y
Therefore, GCF = 7xy.
14x3y + 7x2y – 7xy = 7xy · 2x + 7xy · x – 7xy
= 7xy(2x2 + x - 1)
9
• Remember that factoring out the GCF from the
terms of a polynomial should always be the first
step in factoring a polynomial.
• This will usually be followed by additional steps in
the process.
Example 7 : Factor 90 + 15y2 – 18x – 3xy2.

90 + 15y2 – 18x – 3xy2 = 3(30 + 5y2 – 6x – xy2)
= 3(5(6 + y2) – 6x – xy2)
= 3(5(6 + y2) – x (6 + y2))
= 3(6 + y2)(5 – x)
10
• Some polynomials can be factored by grouping terms
to produce a common binomial factor.
• Used when there are four terms in the polynomial.
• Goal: create two binomials out of the polynomial by
using other factoring methods.
b3 – 3b2 + 4b – 12
Step 1: Group
(b3 – 3b2) + (4b – 12)

Step 2: Factor out GCF from each
group
b (b – 3) + 4(b – 3)
2
Step 3: Factor out GCF
again.
(b – 3)(b2 + 4)
Example 1: Factor (10x2 + 5x – 2x – 1) using
grouping method.
= (10x2 + 5x)-(2x + 1)
= 5x(2x + 1)-1(2x + 1)
= (5x-1)(2x+1)
Example 2: Factor (mp2 + 7m + 3p +21) using

grouping method.
= (mp2 + 7m)+(3p2 + 21)
= m(p2 + 7)+3(p2 + 7)
= (p2 + 7)(m+3)
Example 3: Factor (2x3 + 16x2 – 8x +64) using
grouping method.
= 2(x3 – 8x2 – 4x + 32)
= 2((x3 – 8x2) + (-4x + 32))
= 2(x2(x – 8) – 4(x - 8))
= 2((x – 8)(x2 – 4))
=2((x -8)(x2 – 22))
= 2((x – 8)(x-2)(x+2))
(a + b)(a + b) = a2 + ab + ab + b2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
FORMULA: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a – b)(a – b) = a2 – ab – ab + b2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
FORMULA: (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Example 1 :
x2 + 8x + 16
(x)2 (4)2
2 ∙ x ∙ 4 = 8x
Yes the factors are (a+b)2 :
∴ x2+ 8x + 16 = (x + 4)2
Example 2 :
4x2 - 12x + 9
(2x)2 (3)2
2 ∙ 2x ∙ 3 =
12x
Yes the factors are (a-b)2 :
∴ 4x2- 12x + 9 = (2x - 3)2

(a + b)(a – b) = a2– ab + ab – b2 = a2 – b2
FORMULA : a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
A binomial is the difference of two square if :
i. both terms are squares and ,
ii. the signs of the terms are different.
9x2 – 25y2
FUN FACT : x2 + a2≠ (x +
a)2
Factor each polynomial.
(a) 4m2 - 9 (b) x2 – 6x + 9 – y4
Solution :
(a) 4m2 – 9 = (2m)2 – 32 = (2m + 3)(2m – 3)
(b) x2 – 6x + 9 – y4 = (x2 -6x + 9) – y4

= (x2 -6x + 32) – (y2)2
= (x -3)2 – (y2)2
= [(x – 3) + y2][(x – 3) – y2]
= (x -3 + y2)(x -3 – y2)
The sum or difference of two cubes will factor
into a binomial  trinomial.
FORMULA: a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)

Always
Always opposite

FORMULA: a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)

Example 1: 27x3 – 125
= 33(x3) – 53
= (3x)3 – 53
= (3x – 5)((3x)2 + (3x ∙ 5) + (5)2)
= (3x – 5)(9x2 + 15x + 25)

Example 1 64x3 +
125y6
= 43(x3) + 53(y2)3
= (4x)3 + (5y2)3
= (4x + 5y2)((4x)2 – (4x ∙ 5y2) + (5y2)2)
