Factor

an integer that divides evenly into another; a polynomial that divides evenly into another; the process of writing a polynomial as a product of prime factors

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width: A = lw. A certain rectangle has an area of x2 + 7x + 12. Factor the trinomial to find the length and width of the rectangle.

l = x + 4; w = x + 3

What is the product of (n - 8)(n + 2)?

n 2 - 6n - 16

Trinomial

three term polynomial

Binomial

two term polynomial.
