Polynomial Basics
Classify constant, linear, quadratic and higher degree polynomials
Chapter route
This chapter page turns the high-level subject view into an ordered learning slice, with direct links from curriculum items into topic and skill detail.
Each curriculum item can now route into topic and skill-level detail.
Classify constant, linear, quadratic and higher degree polynomials
Interpret a zero as an input value where polynomial value is zero
Solve simple linear polynomial equations to find zeros
Factorise quadratic polynomials and identify both zeros
Read x-intercepts of a polynomial graph as zeros
Determine possible zeros from how the graph meets the x-axis
Use alpha + beta = -b/a for a quadratic polynomial
Use alpha beta = c/a for a quadratic polynomial
Substitute calculated zeros to verify sum and product relations
Create a quadratic polynomial when sum and product or zeros are given
Understand scalar multiples of a polynomial have the same zeros
Use given zeros or relationships to determine unknown coefficients
Correct common errors in applying sum and product formulas
