Experimental WME Services

Experimental WME Service

The polynomial.wme is a CGI-based WME service. It receives form input and produces result in <meml>...</meml>.

The response is currently delivered under the type

application/mesp+xml

And your browser will ask you to store the result in a file.

We are considering exactly what media type designation to use eventually, candidates are application/xml, text/xml, text/meml, application/meml+xml (likely), ...

At present (June. 2003), it serves as a tool for experimentation in the MESP (Mathematics Education Service Protocol).

Polynomial Factoring

Let P(x) be a polynomial with integer coefficients. A factor R(x) of P(x) is a polynomial that divides P(x) evenly. In other words, there is a quotient polynomial Q(x) such that

P(x) = R(x) × Q(x)

Usually the degree of R(x) is lower than the degree of P(x). If there are no factors, with integer coefficients, of degree lower then P(x), then P(x) is said to be irreducible.

Use this page to factor any polynomial P(x) with integer coefficients into irreducible factors.

Enter a polynomial to be factored over the integers in infix form. For example,

x^2 +2*x + 1
