Factor Polynomials (Order 4) - As Quadratic (True/False), Coefficient N

Level 1

This math topic involves practicing the factorization of fourth-order polynomials, treating them as quadratic expressions. Each question presents a polynomial expression and proposes a factored form. Students need to determine whether the factoring step is correct, answering with 'Yes' or 'No.' These exercises are part of an introductory unit on higher order polynomial factoring, aimed at developing skills in algebraic manipulation and verification of factorization results.

Factor Polynomials (Order 4) - As Quadratic (True/False), Coefficient N


Is this factoring step correct?

9z4−6z2−24=(24z2−6)(z2+4)9z^4 - 6z^2 - 24\\=(24z^2 - 6)(z^2 + 4)
