MONOMIALS AND POLYNOMIALS
INTRODUCTION

  This unit focuses on algebraic expressions in general and then specifically on monomials and polynomials. We take a close look at operations with monomials and polynomials, particularly at the division of polynomials by the binomial (x - a), Ruffini's rule and factorizing polynomials.

AIMS
  • To recognise algebraic expressions and their numerical value.
  • To study properties and operations with monomials.
  • To recognise polynomials in one variable (letter) and understand some basic operations
  • To introduce the remainder theorem and Ruffini's rule
  • To learn how to break a polynomial down into simple factors (factorise)
