The process of factoring is essential to the simplification of many algebraic expressions and is a useful tool in solving higher degree equations. In fact, the process of factoring is so important that very little of algebra beyond this...

Given a quadratic equation, the student will solve the equation by factoring, completing the square, or by using the quadratic formula.

A learning module through which students learn about polynomials including scientific notation, adding and subtracting polynomials, multiplying polynomials, factors and greatest common factor, factoring trinomials, and special factors.

A collection of video lessons with example problems and solutions to help students learn how to extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. Includes interactive widget for working on the modeled problems or trying your own.

This interactive site allows you to practice several algebraic concepts, including solving equations, factoring, and graphing. Problems are randomly generated and allow unlimited practice. Each link contains buttons that allow you to get...

This lesson demonstrates how to use factoring to find the zeros of a polynomial function, and explains how to tell if a particular zero occurs more than once. It is 1 of 6 in the series titled "Zeros and Their Multiplicities." Includes...

Students learn how to find the zeros of a polynomial function. Topics include rational zero test, factoring, and conjugate pairs of zeros. Techniques and examples are included

An algebra "cheat sheet" to use as a reference when completing algebra homework. Lists basic facts, properties, operations, formulas, and functions, as well as common errors.

This site, which is given by the University of Saskatchewan, provides a general overview of polynomials and roots. Examples and exercises are included.

Demonstrates the steps involved in solving a general polynomial, including how to use the Rational Roots Test and synthetic division. Points out when using a graphing calculator can be very helpful.

Factor "advanced" polynomials (i.e. polynomials of various degrees and or with two variables) using quadratic factorization methods. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video...

Here is a site that thoroughly explains many topics related to factoring out the greatest common factor from a sum or a polynomial expression. There are example problems, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student...

This resource is about factorizing trinomials of the form x^2+bx+c by making them into a product of two binomials x^2+bx+c=(x+m)(x+n) where m+n=b and m*n=c

You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson applies factoring a quadratic equation to other types of polynomials that are in "quadratic form."

Discussion on trinomial squares. Includes examples as well as practice problems.
