- 1What is a polynomial?An expression in the form \(ax^n+bx^{n-1}+...\)
Replace \(x\) with any other variable or function - 2Describe the Factor and Remainder TheoremsFactor theorem: If the polynomial function of a real number \(a\) is equal to zero, then \(x-a\) is a factor of the polynomial
Remainder theorem: If the polynomial function \(f(x)\) is divided by \(x-a\) then the remainder will be equal to \(f(a)\) - 3How is polynomial division carried out?Long division
- 4For a polynomial of order \(n\), state: 1. The number of roots 2. The number of turning points1. \(n\) roots
2. \(n-1\) turning points
