How to factor polynomials

In this question we must factor polynomials as there are both numerical and analytical methods. Mathematically speaking, factoring polynomials is represented by the following formula:

[tex]\sum^{n}_{i = 0} \,c_{i}\cdot x^{i} = \prod^{n}_{i=1}(x-r_{i})[/tex], [tex]\forall\,x, r_{i}\in \mathbb{C}[/tex]   (1)

Where:

  • [tex]c_{i}[/tex] - [tex]i[/tex]-th Coefficient
  • [tex]r_{i}[/tex] - [tex]i[/tex]-th Root

Regarding fourth order polynomials we can solve them by Ferrari's method and third order polynomials by Descartes' method. Then, the solutions of each polynomials are given below:

Polynomial 1 ([tex]f(x) = x^{3}-4\cdot x +16[/tex])

f(x) = (x - 4) · (x - 3) · (x - 1) · x

Polynomial 2 ([tex]f(x) = x^{4}+2\cdot x^{3}-13\cdot x^{2}-10\cdot x + 40[/tex])

f(x) = (x - 2.236) · (x - 2) · (x + 2.236) · (x + 4)

Polynomial 3 ([tex]f(x) = x^{3}-3\cdot x^{2}-13\cdot x +15[/tex])

f(x) = (x + 3) · (x - 5) · (x - 1)

Polynomial 4 ([tex]f(x) = x^{4}-8\cdot x^{3}+19\cdot x^{2}-12\cdot x[/tex])

f(x) = (x - 4) · (x - 3) · (x - 1) · x
