In this factoring worksheet, students factor perfect squares. Explanations and examples are provided at the beginning of the worksheet. This two-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this worksheet, learners identify the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. They solve polynomial functions and simplify expressions and equations. 

Learners describe the end behavior of polynomial functions. Pupils relate the behavior of the graph to the exponent of the graph. They differentiate graphs with odd-exponent and graphs with even exponents.

Young mathematicians learn to write algebraic equations. They solve and graph different polynomial functions with different powers. They then graph radicals and identify the domain and range.

Students investigate the use of a graphing calculator in solving problems. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials problems using a calculator.

Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...

In this biology learning exercise, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to algae. There are 54 biology terms located in the word search.

Starting with a quadratic equation in standard form, the instructor shows you how to rewrite the equation to vertex form. She shows step-by-step how to complete the square.

Students convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.

Students determine eigenvectors and eigenvalues for a matrix. Students diagonalize a matrix. Similar matrices are defined. Determinant formula is given for an degree n polynomial.
