Key Topics to Revise

1

System of Linear Equations in Three Variables

  • A linear equation in three variables has the general form: ax + by + cz + d = 0
  • Each equation represents a plane in 3D space
  • Three planes can intersect at a single point (unique solution), along a line (infinite solutions), or not intersect at all (no solution)
2

GCD and LCM of Polynomials

  • GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) or HCF (Highest Common Factor) is the polynomial of highest degree that divides all given polynomials
  • LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the polynomial of lowest degree that is divisible by all given polynomials
  • Use Euclidean Algorithm for finding GCD: Divide the higher degree polynomial by the lower degree polynomial repeatedly until remainder is zero
3

Rational Expressions and Operations

  • A rational expression is a ratio of two polynomials: p(x)/q(x) where q(x) ≠ 0
  • Reduce to lowest form by canceling common factors from numerator and denominator
  • Excluded values are those that make the denominator zero
4

Square Root of Polynomials

  • A polynomial is a perfect square if all exponents of its factors are even
  • Use factorization method: factor completely and take square root of each factor
  • Use division method: similar to long division for finding square root of larger polynomials
