Creating a factor tree to obtain the prime factorization of a number, 48x^4 y^3
👉 Learn how to factor a number, variable, and monomial completely. To factor means to write our term as a product of its factors. Therefore we will learn how to break down a number, variable, and monomial into its factors.

Using factor trees to identify the GCF and factor it out of a binomial
👉Learn how to factor quadratics. A quadratic is an algebraic expression having two as the highest power of its variable(s). To factor an algebraic expression means to break it up into expressions that can be multiplied together to get...

Using a factor tree to help us simplify the 5th root of a number
👉 Learn how to find the 5th root of an expression. To find the 5th root of an expression, if the exponent of the expression is a multiple of 5, then the 5th root of the expression is the base of the expression with an exponent that is...

Solving a quadratic when a is not equal to one
we find two factors of the product of the constant term (the term with no variable) and the coefficient of the squared variable whose sum gives the linear term. These factors are now placed in separate brackets with x to form the factors...
