How did the Factor Theorem help in finding the factors of y^2 - 5y + 6?
How did the Factor Theorem help in finding the factors of y^2 - 5y + 6?
- By using the trial and error method to test all possible factor combinations.
- By identifying that the constant term is the product of the roots of the polynomial. (correct)
- By splitting the middle term of the polynomial to identify the root values.
- By simplifying the polynomial expression to its simplest form.
Why is the splitting method deemed inappropriate for factorizing cubic polynomials initially?
Why is the splitting method deemed inappropriate for factorizing cubic polynomials initially?
- Cubic polynomials have a more complex root structure that requires a different approach.
- Factors of cubic polynomials need to be identified first to effectively use the splitting method. (correct)
- It is based on trial and error, making it inefficient for cubic polynomials.
- The splitting method may lead to multiple factor pairs that need to be refined further.
