A polynomial is a monomial or a sum ordifference of monomials. Since amonomial has only one term, that makesit the most simplest type of polynomial.

Factoring a polynomial equation can be away to find it's real roots. One can find thesolution or roots by using P(x) = 0, seteach factor equal to zero and solve for thex.

If a number is divided by (x a), theremainder is the value of thefunctions a, if (x a) is a factor ofP(x), P(a) = 0.

When multiplying polynomial by amonomial one must use the DistributiveProperty and Properties of Exponents.

When dividing multiplying polynomials onecause use long division. The steps arefirst to write the dividend in standardform including terms with thecoefficient of zero.

To make a mathematical model for adata given by a table, one will need tofigure out which function will beappropriate.

The transformations of f(x) are Verticaltranslation, Horizontal translation, Verticalstretch/compression, Horizontalstretch/compression, and Reflection.

These functions are classified by thedegree of the polynomial.

In the Fundamental Theorem ofAlgebra every polynomial function ofdegree n is greater or equal to 1 hasat least one zero.
