Questions and Answers

What are polynomials?

Polynomials are mathematical expressions that consist of variables, coefficients, and exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

What is the degree of a polynomial?

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression.

What is the leading coefficient of a polynomial?

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.

What is the quadratic formula and how is it used to solve quadratic equations?

<p>The quadratic formula is: x = (-b ± √(b^2-4ac))/(2a). It is used to solve quadratic equations by substituting the values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation into the formula and then simplifying to find the values of x.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are the different methods to solve systems of linear equations?

<p>There are various methods to solve systems of linear equations, including graphing, substitution, and elimination. Graphing involves plotting the equations on a graph to find their intersection point. Substitution involves solving one equation for one variable and then substituting that value into the other equation. Elimination involves adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one variable and then solving for the remaining variable.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the fundamental theorem of algebra?

<p>The fundamental theorem of algebra states that every polynomial equation of degree greater than zero has at least one complex root. In other words, every polynomial equation can be factored into linear and quadratic factors, and the number of complex roots is equal to the degree of the polynomial.</p> Signup and view all the answers
