So when Helmholtz recognized that thought moves at a finite rate, faster than a bird but slower than sound, he missed a fundamental difference between the brain and a telegraph. In our heads, speed is not always the most important thing. Sometimes what really matters is timing.
A solution of a quadratic equation is a value of the variable that makes the equation true. Many quadratic equations. can be solved by factoring and using the zero-factor property. The Zero-Factor Property: When the product of two real numbers is 0, at least one of them is 0.
A polynomial is factored when it is written as a product of non factorable factors. The first step in factoring any polynomial is to determine whether the terms of the polynomial have a greatest common factor. If yes, factor it out first. Factorization is the breaking apart of a polynomial into a product of other smaller polynomials. Factoring is a way to learn how to take something apart.
