(Will give brainliest to the most explained answer!) Can someone explain how to factor Polynomials. Please explain it like you’re teaching this to a 5 year old. :)

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We can factor polynomials by breaking down the expression.

For instance, let's say we have the polynomial .

We can start solving this because this polynomial is in standard form, meaning that the highest exponents go first. (.)

To factor a polynomial, we are looking for two numbers that:

A. When multiplied, get us (in this case, 14)

B. When added, get us (in this case, -9).

If we play around with numbers, looking at the factors of 14, we see that the numbers 7 and 2 might be useful here. They add up to 9 and multiply to be 14.

However, these numbers ADD to be -9, meaning that they both need to be negative.

Now that we know our numbers, -7 and -2, we can make these our factors (which are represented by , y being our factor.

So our factors turn out to be and .

Let me know if you need anything explained more, and I hope this helped!
