Overview
Algebra is a fundamental branch of mathematics that extends arithmetic by introducing variables and generalizing numerical relationships. This chapter explores polynomials, algebraic identities, factorization, polynomial division, and systems of linear equations. These concepts form the foundation f
Key Concepts
A polynomial is an algebraic expression
A polynomial is an algebraic expression consisting of variables and constants combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative i
Polynomials can be added
Polynomials can be added, subtracted, and multiplied similar to numbers. When adding or subtracting, combine like terms (terms with the same variable
The value of a polynomial p(x)
The value of a polynomial p(x) at x = a, denoted p(a), is found by substituting a for x. A zero (or root) of a polynomial is a value of x for which p(
When a polynomial p(x) is divided
When a polynomial p(x) is divided by a linear polynomial (x - a), the remainder is p(a). This theorem provides a quick way to find remainders without
A key extension of the Remainder
A key extension of the Remainder Theorem: (x - a) is a factor of p(x) if and only if p(a) = 0. This means if a value makes the polynomial equal to zer
