What is it?
The teacher will share her screen to the learners to

Factoring polynomials is the reverse procedure of the

multiplication of factors of polynomials. An expression
of the form axn + bxn-1 +kcxn-2 + ….+kx+ l, where each
variable has a constant accompanying it as its
coefficient is called a polynomial of degree ‘n’ in
variable x. Thus, a polynomial is an expression in which
a combination of a constant and a variable is separated
by an addition or a subtraction sign.
Zeroes of polynomials, when represented in the form of

another linear polynomial are known as factors of
polynomials. After factorisation of a given polynomial, if
we divide the polynomial with any of its factors, the
remainder will be zero. Also, in this process, we factor
the polynomial by finding its greatest common factor.
Now let us learn how to factorise polynomials here with

examples.

Factorisation of Polynomial
The process of finding factors of a given value or

mathematical expression is called factorisation. Factors
are the integers that are multiplied to produce an
original number. For example, the factors of 18 are 2, 3,
6, 9 and 18, such as;
18 = 2 x 9
18 = 2 x 3 x 3
18 = 3 x 6
Similarly, in the case of polynomials, the factors are the

polynomials which are multiplied to produce the
original polynomial. For example, the factors of x2 + 5x
+ 6 is (x + 2) (x + 3). When we multiply both x +2 and
x+3, then the original polynomial is generated. After

REGISTERED
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur

factorisation, we can also find the zeros of the
polynomials. In this case, zeroes are x = -2 and x = -3.
Types of Factoring polynomials
There are six different methods to factorising

polynomials. The six methods are as follows:
 Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

 Grouping Method
 Sum or difference in two cubes
 Difference in two squares method
 General trinomials
 Trinomial method
In this article, let us discuss the two basic methods
which we are using frequently to factorise the
polynomial. Those two methods are the greatest
common factor method and the grouping method.
Apart from these methods, we can factorise the
polynomials by the use of general algebraic identities.
Similarly, if the polynomial is of a quadratic expression,
we can use the quadratic equation to find the
roots/factor of a given expression. The formula to find
the factors of the quadratic expression (ax2+bx+c) is
given by:
x = −b ± √(b2 − 4ac) / 2a
How to Solve Polynomials?
There are a certain number of methods by which we

can solve polynomials. Let us discuss these methods.
Greatest Common Factor
We have to find out the greatest common factor, of the

REGISTERED
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur

given polynomial to factorise it. This process is nothing
but a type of reverse procedure of distributive law, such
as;
p( q + r) = pq + pr
But in the case of factorisation, it is just an inverse

process;
pq + pr = p(q + r)
where p is the greatest common factor.
This method is also said to be factoring by pairs. Here,

the given polynomial is distributed in pairs or grouped
in pairs to find the zeros. Let us take an example.
Example: Factorise x2-15x+50
Find the two numbers which when added gives -15 and
when multiplied gives 50.
So, -5 and -10 are the two numbers, such that;
(-5) + (-10) = -15
(-5) x (-10) = 50
Hence, we can write the given polynomial as;
x2-5x-10x+50
x(x-5)-10(x-5)
Taking x – 5 as common factor we get;
(x-5)(x-10)
Hence, the factors are (x – 5) and (x – 10).

REGISTERED
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
Factoring Using Identities
The factorisation can be done also by using algebraic

identities. The most common identities used in terms of
the factorisation are:
 (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
 (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
 a2 – b2= (a + b)(a – b)
Let us see an example:
Factorise (x2 – 112)
Using the identity, we can write the above polynomial

as;
(x+11) (x-11)
Factor theorem
For a polynomial p(x) of degree greater than or equal to

one,
1. x-a is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0

2. If p(a) = 0, then x-a is a factor of p(x)
Where ‘a’ is a real number.
Factoring Polynomial with Four Terms
Let us learn how to factorize the polynomial having four

terms. For example, x3 + x2 – x – 1 is the polynomial.
Break the given polynomial into two parts first.
(x3 + x2)+( –x – 1)
Now find the highest common factor from both the

REGISTERED
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur

parts and take that factor out of the bracket.
We can see, from the first part, x2 is the greatest

common factor and from the second part we can take
out the minus sign. Thus,
x2(x+1)-1(x+1)
Again, regrouping the terms as the factors.
(x2-1) (x+1)Therefore, the factorisation of x3+ x2 – x – 1

gives (x2 -1) (x+1)
Solved Examples
Question 1:
Check whether x+3 is a factor of x3 + 3x2 + 5x +15.
Solution:
Let x + 3= 0
=> x = -3
Now, p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 5x +15
Let us check the value of this polynomial for x = -3.
p(-3) = (-3)3 + 3 (-3)2 + 5(-3) + 15 = -27 + 27 – 15 + 15 = 0
As, p(-3) = 0, x+3 is a factor of x3 + 3x2 + 5x +15.

Question 2:
Factorize x2 + 5x + 6.
Solution:
Let us try factorizing this polynomial using splitting the

REGISTERED
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur

middle term method.
Factoring polynomials by splitting the middle term:
In this technique we need to find two numbers ‘a’ and

‘b’ such that a + b =5 and ab = 6.
On solving this we obtain, a = 3 and b = 2
Thus, the above expression can be written as:
x2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3) = (x + 3)(x + 2)
Thus, x+3 and x+2 are the factors of the polynomial x2 +

5x + 6.
C. Engagement What’s more?
Learning Task 3. Using the techniques in factoring

polynomials, find the factors of the following
polynomials and state the technique being used.
1. 64x3 + 27
2. 25x2 - 70x + 49
3. 8x3y - 50y3x
4. y3 - 125
What I Can Do?
Learning Task 4. Solve the following problems using

factoring polynomials.
1. A rectangular garden in a backyard has an area of
(3x2 + 5x - 6)
square meters. Its width is (x + 2) meters.
a. Find the length of the garden.
b. You decided to partition the garden into two or more
smaller congruent
gardens. Design a possible model and include
mathematical concepts in your design.
2. If one ream of bond paper costs (3x - 4) pesos, how
many reams can
you buy for (6x4 - 17x3 + 24x2 - 34x + 24) pesos?
D. Assimilation What I Have Learned?

The teacher will ask the learners to generalize the

REGISTERED

lesson. After the learners shared their understandings,
the teacher will then again share her screen to show
the summary of the lesson.
Factoring polynomials is the reverse procedure of the

multiplication of factors of polynomials. An expression
of the form axn + bxn-1 +kcxn-2 + ….+kx+ l, where each
variable has a constant accompanying it as its
coefficient is called a polynomial of degree ‘n’ in
variable x. Thus, a polynomial is an expression in which
a combination of a constant and a variable is separated
by an addition or a subtraction sign.
Zeroes of polynomials, when represented in the form of

another linear polynomial are known as factors of
polynomials. After factorisation of a given polynomial, if
we divide the polynomial with any of its factors, the
remainder will be zero. Also, in this process, we factor
the polynomial by finding its greatest common factor.
Now let us learn how to factorise polynomials here with
