Factor[ <Polynomial> ]
Factors the polynomial.
Example:
Factor[x^2 + x - 6] yields f(x) = (x - 2) (x + 3).

CAS Syntax

Factor[ <Polynomial> ]
Factors the polynomial.
Example:
Factor[x^2 - y^2] yields (x + y) (x - y).
Factor[ <Expression>, <Variable> ]
Factorizes an expression with respect to a given variable.
Example:
  • Factor[x^2 - y^2, x] yields (x + y) (x - y), the factorization of x2 - y2 with respect to x,
  • Factor[x^2 - y^2, y] yields (-x - y) (-x + y), the factorization of x2 - y2 with respect to y.
Note:
