This command differs among variants of English:
|
- 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.
- Example:
Factor[x^2-y^2, y]
yields (-x - y) (-x + y), the factorization of x2 - y2 with respect to y.
