Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the future of learning, work and human development. Okay, we cut a bad deal 20 years ago and it’s time to fix it.

In this video, I provide essential "math help" to overcome your struggles with factoring. This "math tutorial" focuses on "factoring trinomials" and "quadratic equations" through multiple examples.

👉 Learn how to find the zeroes of a polynomial equation/expression involving the sum/difference of two cubes. Given a polynomial having the sum of two cubes, the polynomial can be factored as follows ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...

We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the diagram below: In diagram A, we can see that this parabola has 2 roots, diagram B has 1 root and diagram C has no roots. What type of ...
