Worked examples

Factorization, Ruffini’s rule and polynomial division

One sheet for each type of problem, with several worked examples of increasing difficulty: first the computation, then the explanation in words. Each sheet starts with links to the theory it uses.

• 1Special products and factoring out common factors
• 2Polynomial division with the algorithm
• 3Ruffini's rule and the remainder theorem
• 4Complete factorizations of third- and fourth-degree polynomials
• 5Factorizations by grouping and with the special trinomial
