Domain - Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions
Cluster - Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials.
[AI.A-APR.A.1.b] - Factor and/or expand polynomial expressions, identify and combine like terms, and apply the Distributive property.
- Expression
A mathematical phrase that combines operations, numbers, and/or variables (e.g., 32 ÷ a). - Polynomial
The sum or difference of terms which have variables raised to positive integer powers and which have coefficients that may be real or complex. The following are all polynomials: 5x3 – 2x2 + x – 13, x2y3 + xy, and (1 + i)a2 + ib2.
[AII.A-APR.B.2] -
Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x – a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).
