The value of the discriminant is 24. Then the factor of the polynomial is not a whole number.
What is a factorization?
It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.
The expression is given below.
x² + 8x + 10
If the value of the discriminant is a perfect square then the factor of the polynomial will be in whole number.
D = b² - 4ac
D = 8² - 4 x 1 x 10
D = 64 - 40
D = 24
The value of the discriminant is not a perfect square.
The solution of the polynomial can be determined by the formula method.
