Study Notes
- Factor theorem in polynomials
- Factor: a term or number that completely divides another term
- Polynomial: an algebraic expression with constant and variable terms
- Polynomial powers cannot be fractions or negative terms
- Examples of polynomials: ax² + bx + c, where a, b, c are numerical terms and x is the variable
- Example of non-polynomial: 3x^-2 + 2x^(1/2)
- Polynomial degree: highest power of the variable
- Zero polynomial: no variable term present (e.g., 5x^0 = 5)
- Linear polynomial: highest power of the variable is 1 (e.g., 2x + 3)
- Quadratic polynomial: highest power of the variable is 2 (e.g., x² + 5x + 6)
- Cubic polynomial: highest power of the variable is 3 (e.g., 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 7)
- Remainder theorem: if a polynomial is divided by a factor, the remainder should be zero
- Example of applying remainder theorem to quadratic polynomial: x² + 5x + 6, factors are (x + 2) and (x + 3)
- Division rule: dividend = (divisor * quotient) + remainder
- Importance of practicing math regularly for better understanding and performance in exams- Chapter well-known and understood by the speaker
- Confidence check by pausing and writing questions
- Match your answer to the speaker's answer
- Working together to finish math problems
- Aim for 100 out of 100
- Question involves finding the remainder
- Use the divisor (x+3) to find the value of x
- Polynomial of highest power called degree
- Basic concepts to advanced topics covered in one chapter
- Importance of understanding each topic
- Polynomial has highest power of three, called cubic polynomial
- Focus on understanding and practicing each question
- Method of finding remainder without division
- Factor theorem: If remainder is zero, the divisor is a factor
- Remainder can be found by substituting variable value in the polynomial
- Confidence, hard work, and patience required for mastering math
- Engineering students need strong math foundation
- Solve problems step by step
- Remainder can be zero or nonzero
- Factors can be found using division method
- Practice silently and let your success make a big impact in the world
