Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Polynomials after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Degree means the highest power of the variable.
  • A polynomial of degree 1 is linear.
  • A polynomial of degree 2 is quadratic.
  • A zero is a value that makes the polynomial equal to 0.
  • To find a zero, substitute a number and check whether the result is 0.
  • The zero of ax + b is -b/a.
  • Zeroes are connected to graph intersections with the x-axis.
  • A linear polynomial has exactly one zero.
  • A quadratic polynomial can have 2, 1, or 0 zeroes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A polynomial can have more zeroes than its degree.

If a quadratic graph touches the x-axis at one point, then it has no zeroes.

The zero of ax + b is b/a.
