Question: what are the factors of the expression:

Solution:

Let the expression

If we apply the quadratic equation:

$\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

we get the zero of the polynomial

which is -1. Thus the polynomial can be factored in the following way

$x^2+2x+1\text{ = (x+1)(x+1)}=(x+1)^2$

then, we can conclude that the factors of the given polynomial are:

(x+1) and (x+1)
