Factor out a 3 
Use ^, Shift 6, for exponents.  * is used for multiply.   
The other tutor saw * as multiply. 
------------ 
= 3*(x^3 + 4x^2 + x + 4) 
Try the factors of 4, = 1, 2 & 4.  Note that all terms are positive, so no negative factors. 
f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x + 4 
Try x+1.  If it's a factor, then f(-1) will be zero. 
f(-1) = -1 + 4 - 1 + 4 <> 0 
x+1 doesn't work. 
------------ 
Try x+2 
f(-2) = -8 + 16 - 2 + 4 also <> 0 
Try x+4 
f(-4) = -64 + 64 - 4 + 4 which is zero. 
Divide the polynomial by (x+4) 
----- 
= 3(x+4)(x^2+1) 
====================
 
Factor the trinomial completely x*2+15x+29 
That can't be factored. 
-------------- 
Factor the trinomial completely x*2-12x+35 
Find 2 factors of 35, both negative, that add to -12. 
------------------- 
Factor the trinomial. X*2-4x-5 
Easy one. 
----------- 
Factor the trinomial completely. Y*3-15y*2+35y 
Factor out a y, then look for 2 factors of 35 (both -) that add to -15. 
----------- 
Factor the trinomial. 4b*2-4b-15 
This one has more possibilities, both end terms have more than 1 pair of factors. 
It could be (b + p)*(4b + q) or (2b + p)*(2b + q), and the signs of p & q are opposite. 
------------ 
Factor the trinomial completely. 4x*3+10*2-50x 
Step 1, factor out 2x. 
--------------------- 
Factor x*3-512 
A difference of 2 cubes. 
  
----------------------- 
Solve the equation (x-3)(2x+1)=0 
If the product is zero, either 
x-3 = 0 
or 
2x+1 = 0 
-------------- 
Solve and check. 2x*2-7=0 
  
  
  
Plus and minus.
