All equations are composed of polynomials. If you know how to solve equations containing polynomials of the first degree, then you can solve equations of higher degree. One way to solve a polynomial equation is to use the zero-product...

This section expands on the process of factoring to certain types of polynomials. In particular, it investigates how to find the sum and difference of cubed numbers and terms, and it will use volume of cubes to model this process.
