# G-filtered Polycules

The strongest thing i can say about G-filtered Polycules, is that "someday, grade school kids will be rational-factoring cubic polynomials without even knowing it". So you can only imagine what they will be capable of when they enter High School, College, and Beyond, and NOT just in Mathematics !!! A design for the "game" they play after recess might look like the image below, "CUBICS CUBE" sounds catchy for a title. Find $m$ and the factors of the cubic $x^3-3x^2-11x+21$ magically appear, the BIG CIRCLE equation reveals the Rational factor, and the LITTLE CIRCLE equation reveals the quadratic factor. The pic below shows the formal Mathematics in factoring $x^3-3x^2-11x+21$ via Unit Conjugate G-filtration. Note: DROS is Descartes' Rule Of Signs, which when used with Conjugate G-filtration makes a powerful factoring Tool for ANY polynomial !!! Junior High School grads can now factor an integer-coefficient polynomial of ANY degree. The pic below shows the work required in factoring the cubic $2x^3-7x^2-16x+35$. How would you find all the rational factors ??? This facebook video explains the Game of G-filtered Polycules for Cubics; leave a comment:

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

Can you provide a brief step-by-step explanation to this method? This is hard to understand. But I find this method much efficient than rational root theorem.
