For a complete lesson on factoring polynomials, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn that a trinomial in the form x^2 + bx + c (where c is positive), such as x^2 + 7x + 10, can be factored as the product of two binomials, in this case (x + 5)(x + 2). The first term in each binomial comes from the factors of x^2, x and x. The second term in each binomial comes from the factors of the constant term, +10, that add to the coefficient of the middle term, +7, which in this case are +5 and +2.

  • something tells me this guy is like a schizophrenic with ADD when he's not working, and they just give him a horse sedative so he can teach us math.

  • He explained that so beautifully that I expected him to put on sunglasses, say "and that's how it's done, bitches", and swag walk away at the end.

  • I fell like im a nerd lol

  • how do i do 2x^4-4x^2=30

    i set it to equall to 0........ so 2x^4-4x^2-30=0 then i got stuck... since 4 is to low for some numbers that times to equall 30 but add to equall 4.

  • THANK YOU this made it so easy, I just started taking college courses online and my professor just blows through everything, then I'm stuck when it comes to the more challenging stuff later in the course because as we all know, math is a process. Thank you again.
