Strand: ALGEBRA - Arithmetic With Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A.APR)

Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials, extending beyond the quadratic polynomials (Standard A.APR.1). Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials (Standards A.APR.2-3). Use polynomial identities to solve problems (Standards A.APR.4-5). Rewrite rational expressions (Standards A.APR.6-7).

Standard A.APR.2

Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x – a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).
