To remove brackets is to multiply the term outside the brackets by each term inside. Factorising an expression is to write it as a product of its factors. Check your understanding of the process with ...

To factorise a trinomial expression, put it back into a pair of brackets. To find the terms that go in each bracket, look for a pair of numbers which multiply to give the last number and add together ...

Algebraic expressions are an essential topic in the mathematics curriculum as they are interrelated in the application of problem-solving in science and mathematics. Previous studies showed that most ...

Abstract: Algebraic soft-decision decoding is a recent break-through in decoding of Reed-Solomon codes and significant decoding gain can be achieved over conventional hard-decision decoding. Bivariate ...

Abstract: Bivariate polynomial factorization is an important stage of algebraic soft-decision decoding of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes and contributes to a significant portion of the overall decoding ...
