Key Topics to Revise
1
1. Polynomials: Definition, Classification, and Operations
- A polynomial is an algebraic expression with variables and constants combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication with non-negative integer exponents
- Standard form arranges terms in decreasing powers of variables
- Degree of polynomial = highest power of the variable in one-variable polynomials
2
2. Value and Zeros of Polynomials
- Value of polynomial p(x) at x = a is found by substituting x = a: p(a)
- A zero of polynomial p(x) is a value 'a' where p(a) = 0
- Zeros of polynomial are x-intercepts of its graph
3
3. Remainder Theorem and Factor Theorem
- Remainder Theorem: When p(x) is divided by (x - a), remainder = p(a)
- This allows finding remainder without performing long division
- If p(x) divided by (x + a), remainder = p(-a)
4
4. Algebraic Identities
- Identity is equation true for all variable values
- (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² - square of sum
- (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b² - square of difference
