Domain - Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions
Cluster - Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials.
[MIII.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).
- 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. - Remainder Theorem
If f(x) is a polynomial in x then the remainder on dividing f (x) by x − a is f (a).
[MII.A-SSE.B.3.a] -
Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
[MII.A-APR.A.1.a] -
Perform operations on polynomial expressions (addition, subtraction, multiplication), and compare the system of polynomials to the system of integers when performing operations.
[MII.A-APR.A.1.b] -
Factor and/or expand polynomial expressions; identify and combine like terms; and apply the Distributive property.
[MIII.N-CN.C.9] -
(+) Know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; show that it is true for quadratic polynomials.
[MIII.A-APR.B.3] -
Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.
[MIII.A-APR.D.6] -
Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
