Polynomials
Jacob Reinholtz, 2nd Hour
Block 1: Introduction
Block 2: Vocabulary
Synthetic Division - shorthand method of polynomial division by dividing a linear factor
Factor by Grouping - factoring pairs of terms that have a common monomial factor
Polynomial Long Division - dividing polynomials like one would with typical numbers
Monomial - a product of positive integer powers of a fixed set of variables together with a coefficient
Block 3: Properties of Exponents
Product of Powers: a^m * a^n = a^m + ^n
Power of a Power: (a^m)^n = a^m^n
Power of a Product: (ab)^m = a^mb^m
Negative Exponent: a^-m = 1/a^m, a ≠ 0
Zero Exponent: a^0 = 1, a ≠ 0
Quotient of Powers: a^m/a^n = a^m - n, a ≠ 0
Power of a Quotient: (a/b)^m = a^m/b^m, b ≠ 0
