UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZEROS AND FACTORS OF POLYNOMIALS.

  • A2:A-APR.B.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).
  • A2:A-APR.B.3 Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.

USE POLYNOMIAL IDENTITIES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

  • A2:A-APR.C.4 Use polynomial identities to describe numerical relationships. For example, the polynomial identity (x^2 + y^2)^2 = (x^2 – y^2)^2 + (2xy)^2 can be used to generate Pythagorean triples.

REWRITE RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS.

  • A2:A-APR.D.6 Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
