Factoring Polynomials Rev Ex

This document contains a review of exercises on factoring polynomials. It consists of 7 sections with multiple parts in each section asking to factor polynomials of varying degrees (quadratic, cubic, biquadratic) with respect to the rationals. Some sections ask to determine integer values of variables that allow factoring, determine if a polynomial is irreducible, solve polynomial equations by factoring, and completely factor polynomials.
