Common factorizations
These are common factorizations that are used all the time. These should be memorized, but one should also know how they are derived.

Vieta's/Newton Factorizations
These factorizations are useful for problem that could otherwise be solved by Newton sums or problems that give a polynomial, and ask a question about the roots. Combined with Vieta's formulas, these are excellent factorizations that show up everywhere.
