long division answer format: quotient + remainder/divisor

If a polynomial f(x) is divided by x - k, then the remainder is r = f(k)

p= factor of a constant term / q= factor of a leading coefficient

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n where n > 0, then the equation f(x) = 0 has at least one solution in the set of complex numbers.


Corollary:

If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n where n > 0, then the equation f(x)  = 0 has exactly n solutions provided each solution repeated twice is counted as two solutions, each solution repeated three times is counted as three solutions, etc. 

-An nth degree polynomial function f has exactly n zeros. 


Descartes rule of signs:

The number of positive real zeros of f is equal to the number of changes in sign of the coefficients of f(x) or is less than this by an even number.

The number of negative real zeros of f is equal to the number of changes in sign of the coefficients of f(-x) or is less than this by an even number.

zero: k is a zero of the polynomial function f

factor: x-k is a factor of the polynomial

solution: k is a solution (or root) of the polynomial equation f(x) = 0

x-intercept: if k is a real number, then k is an x-intercept of the graph of the polynomial function f. the graph of f passes through (k,0)

Location Principle:

If f is a polynomial function and a and b are two real numbers such that f(a) < 0 and f(b) > 0 then f has at least one real zero between a and b

the graph of every polynomial function has at most n-1 turning points

if a polynomial of degree n and n distinct real zeros then its graph has exactly n-1 turning points

a function is even when f(-x)=f(x)

a function is odd when f(-x)=f(-x)

if a polynomial function y=f(x) has degree n, then nth differences of function values for equally-spaced-x-values are nonzero and constant

conversely, if the nth differences of equally-spaced data are nonzero and constant, then the data can be represented by ba polynomial function of degree n
