Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
x4 - 5x2 - 6x (x4 - 5x2 - 6x) • x
x4 - 5x2 - 6x = ————————————— = ———————————————————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
x4 - 5x2 - 6x = x • (x3 - 5x - 6)
Polynomial Roots Calculator :
4.2 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = x3 - 5x - 6
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers
The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient
In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 1 and the Trailing Constant is -6.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2 ,3 ,6
Let us test ....

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.3 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x • (x3-5x-6) • x - (10) x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
5.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Checking for a perfect cube :
5.2 x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
5.3 Factoring: x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: -6x2 - 10
Group 2: x5 - 5x3
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (3x2 + 5) • (-2)
Group 2: (x2 - 5) • (x3)
Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :
The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.
