What is polynomial long division?

Back

Polynomial long division is a method used to divide a polynomial by another polynomial of the same or lower degree, similar to numerical long division.

Front

What is a horizontal asymptote?

Back

A horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line that the graph of a function approaches as the input (x) approaches positive or negative infinity.

Front

How do you find the quadrant of an angle?

Back

To find the quadrant of an angle, determine the angle's equivalent angle between 0° and 360° by adding or subtracting 360° as needed.

Front

What is a hole in a function?

Back

A hole in a function occurs at a value of x where the function is not defined due to a factor that cancels out in the numerator and denominator.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

Front

What is the remainder theorem?

Back

The remainder theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by (x - c) is equal to f(c).

Front

What is the difference between a rational function and a polynomial function?

Back

A rational function is a ratio of two polynomials, while a polynomial function is a single polynomial without division by another polynomial.

Front

How do you determine the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the leading term's degree and coefficient.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in a polynomial?

Back

The leading coefficient determines the direction of the graph as x approaches positive or negative infinity.
