The document discusses various methods for factoring polynomials in mathematics. It introduces factoring polynomials with common monomial factors, special products like the sum and difference of two cubes or squares, factoring quadratic and general trinomials, and factoring perfect square trinomials. The key skills discussed are factoring polynomials into prime factors by expressing them as products of irreducible polynomials of the same type and factoring completely so that each factor cannot be further broken down.

FACTORING QUADRATIC COMMON MONOMIAL TRINOMIALS FACTORS -Any polynomial whose greatest ax^2 + bx + c common monomial factor is 1 is -When a number or a polynomial is factored, it is rewritten as a product of described as prime polynomial. two or more factors. -A prime polynomial has only two factors; 1 and the polynomial itsell FACTORING GENERAL TRINOMIALS -A polynomial said to be factored into x^2 + bx + c prime factors if it is expressed as the product of two or more irreducible FACTORING THE SUM polynomials of the same type. FACTORING PERFECT AND DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARES SQUARE TRINOMIALS -A polynomial is factored completely if each of its factors can no longer be a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = (a + b)(a + b) (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 expressed as product of two other a ^ 2 - b ^ 2 = (a + b)(a - b) (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 polynomials of lower degree and that the coefficient have no common factors
