1.2.8 Algebra and Functions

A polynomial contains constants and [     ] of its variable. Its degree is the highest power with a non-zero coefficient.

A

5x2+2x−55x^2+2x-55x2+2x−5

B

A quadratic.

C

A polynomial contains constants and non-negative whole-number powers of its variable. Its degree is the highest power with a non-zero coefficient.

D

Before polynomial division, arrange the dividend in descending powers and insert zero terms for missing powers.

If division by x−ax-ax−a has zero remainder, then x−ax-ax−a is a factor.
