This task is intended to help students see more clearly the link between factorization of polynomials and zeroes of polynomial functions. The argument here generalizes to show that a polynomial of degree d can have at most d roots....

Gain an understanding of special products of polynomials by viewing examples and a video lesson. [1:19]

You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n
