Polynomials– The RULE: expressions with numbers and variables involving only addition, subtraction, and multiplication Following this rule, all exponents will be non-negative integers. We’re also assuming here that we combine all like terms. anxn + an-1xn-1+ an-2xn-2 + an-3xn-3 + … a1x + a0 Let’s start by reviewing the pieces. Some vocabulary: coefficient, leading coefficient variable degree monomial, binomial, trinomial linear, quadratic, cubic, etc. Is 5 a polynomial? Give an example of a polynomial and a non-polynomial.
Multiplying Multiply these: (2x + 3)(2x – 3) (2x + 3)2
Factoring– the opposite of multiplying What’s the first rule in factoring? Try these. You can verify your answers with CAS. x2 + x - 6 6x2 - 7x - 3 12x3 - 36x2y + 27xy2 a3 + b3 a3 - b3
Factoring– the opposite of multiplying What’s the first rule in factoring? Try these. You can verify your answers with CAS. x2 + x – 6 = (x + 3)(x – 2) 6x2 - 7x – 3 = (2x – 3)(3x + 1) 12x3 - 36x2y + 27xy2 = 3x(4x2 – 12xy + 9y2) = 3x(2x – 3)2 a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2) a3 - b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
