Document Summary
So far in this text we have learned methods for solving linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations and quadratic equations are both examples of polynomial equations of first and second degree, respectively. In this section we will first start by looking at certain higher order polynomial equations that can be solved using special factoring techniques. One useful technique is to factor out an expression included in each term, or remove the common factor. In an equation of the form produce the equation. Lost. in addition, because dividing by 0, which of course is undefined and produces incorrect results. + = , which has only two solutions. 0x = is a solution of the original equation, dividing by x would mean. = above, do not divide both sides by x. Sometimes polynomials can be solved by grouping terms and factoring (especially when the polynomial has four terms), or factor by grouping.
