Topics in Algebra

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
