    Factoring without trial and erorr?

    Is there a formula for factoring simple second order polynomials with zero trial and error? For example: 3X^2-11X+6 I know the answer is (3X-2)(X-3) and that can be checked by foiling obviously. I know 3X and X have to be the first terms, and that the last two have to be multiples of 6...

    Is factoring just random trial and error?

    Homework Statement How does one know x^4+x^2+1=(x^2-x+1)(x^2+x+1)? How does one get to that step? I can find the roots of x but that doesn't seem to help. Is it be random trial and error?

    Is Trial Division Primality Check Considered in Polynomial Time?

    Greetings, This is very simple, and obviously I'm missing something trivial, but I still don't get it. An algorithm is said to run in polynomial time if it runs in O(n^K) time. That's why dijkstra for example, who runs in O(V^2), runs in polynomial time. That said, my doubt is...
