Polynomials

Second Order
Third Order


Straight Line

A first degree polynomial is always a straight line
y = mx + c
m is the gradient
c is the intercept


Simultaneous Equations

Methods you can use the solve simultaneous equations:
1) elimination
the coefficients of either x or y must be equal in both equations
often - multiply one of the equations and then subtract them


Common Factor

This is the process of finding the numbers (expressions) that multiple together to make a give number (or expression)

Quadratic Equation

Also known as a quadratic polynomial or a second order polnomial or second degree polynomial.


This is a second degree polynomial.


some quadratic equations can be factorised


Perfect Square



Grouping



Completing the Square



InEquation

An equation can be represented as a straight line
An inequation is represented by a region


y = 2x <= 9
2y + x >= 3
