- polynomial function- a function whose rule is a polynomial
- factor by grouping- to factor a polynomial with four terms by grouping, factor common monomials from pairs of terms, and then look for common binomial factors
- factor by grouping- pairs of terms that have a common monomial factor
- synthetic division- a shorthand method of dividing by a linear binomial of the form (x-a) by writing only the coefficients of the polynomial
