The tutorial starts with an introduction to Operations with Polynomials and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific math lesson as required to build your math knowledge of Operations with Polynomials. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Math tutorial, you will learn:

  • What are like and unlike terms in a polynomial?
  • What is the leading term of a polynomial?
  • What is the leading term for the leading coefficient of a polynomial?
  • How to write a polynomial in the standard form
  • How to add/subtract polynomials

  • How to find the zeroes of a polynomial by its graph

Introduction

In the previous tutorial, we had a general view of monomials and polynomials. Now, we will further extend the study of these concepts by introducing new elements including "like" and "unlike" terms, "leading" terms and "leading coefficients", etc. Moreover, we will explain how to complete basic math operations with polynomials.

Another important concept explained here is the zeroes of a polynomial. At the end of this tutorial, you will know how to find the zeroes of a polynomial by using its associated graph.
