applies the remainder and factor theorem and sums and products of zeroes to solve problems involving polynomials
Define a polynomial to be monic if its leading coefficient is 1
State the multiplicity of each root of a polynomial equation given in factored form
Find the zeroes of a polynomial that is expressed as a product of linear factors, determine their multiplicity and graph the polynomial
Examine the process of division of polynomials by comparing with the process of division with remainders for whole numbers, and use the terms dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder
Use the formulas for the sums and products of zeroes to solve problems involving zeroes and coefficients of quadratic, cubic and quartic polynomials
