Factors and Roots of Polynomials at a Glance


We're having a blast here on the planet of polynomials. Our little friends have been very hospitable. We've been getting quite a workout adding, subtracting, and multiplying.

We're nearly ready to start our trek up Polynomial Mountain. We have one final preparation to make: we'll need a technique called synthetic division. Once we have it, we'll set out to find a new trick called the Remainder Theorem. It'll show us the how to find factors and roots of polynomials. It also loves to draw squiggly little lines in the sand. We can't wait to play in the sand.
