    This document discusses factorizing quartic expressions. It explains that a quartic function is a polynomial of degree four. To factorize a quartic expression, you look for factors of the leading coefficient and substitute them into the expression. The document provides an example of factorizing the expression x^4 - 12x + 35 by finding its factors. It also gives an example of how to find the roots of a quartic expression using its factorization.

    Quartic Expressions
    In algebra, a quartic function is a function of the form

    where a is nonzero, which is defined by a polynomial of degree four.

    To factorise a quartic expression, you look for the factors of e, which


    when substituted in the function
    Then apply long division, completion of the square and or simply
    factorisation to breakdown the expression
