Factor Polynomials (Order 3) - By Grouping to Order 1 Factors, Coefficient 1

Level 1

This math topic focuses on the skill of factoring third-order polynomials by grouping into first-order factors with coefficient 1. The problems present various cubic equations, each requiring the transformation into a product of linear factors (binomials). Each question provides a polynomial equation along with multiple choice solutions for the factored form. This subject area is part of an introductory unit on higher-order polynomial factoring.
