Polynomials

Perform operations on polynomials including factoring, expanding, finding roots, and analyzing properties. Our tools handle polynomials of any degree with multiple variables.

Polynomial Factoring

Factor polynomials into their irreducible components.

Common Factoring Techniques

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

Example: 3x² + 6x = 3x(x + 2)

Difference of Squares

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

Example: x² - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3)

Perfect Square Trinomials

a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²

a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²

Example: x² + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)²

Sum/Difference of Cubes

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

Example: x³ - 8 = (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4)

Polynomial Expansion

Expand and simplify polynomial expressions.

Expansion Techniques

FOIL Method (First, Outer, Inner, Last)

(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

Example: (x + 2)(x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = x² + 5x + 6

Binomial Expansion

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

Example: (x + 1)² = x² + 2x + 1

Binomial Theorem

(a + b)ⁿ = Σ(k=0 to n) (n choose k) aⁿ⁻ᵏbᵏ

Example: (x + y)³ = x³ + 3x²y + 3xy² + y³

Polynomial Properties

Analyze properties of polynomials including degree, roots, coefficients, and more.

Important Polynomial Properties

Degree

The highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

Example: x³ + 2x² + x + 3 has degree 3

Leading Coefficient

The coefficient of the term with the highest degree.

Example: In 2x³ + x² + 4, the leading coefficient is 2

Roots/Zeros

Values of x for which P(x) = 0.

Example: x² - 4 has roots at x = 2 and x = -2

Simplification

Simplify algebraic expressions, rationalize denominators, combine like terms, and more. Our tools handle complex expressions with multiple variables and operations.

General Expression Simplification

Simplify algebraic expressions by combining like terms and applying algebraic properties.

Simplification Techniques

Combining Like Terms

Group and add/subtract terms with the same variables and exponents.

Example: 3x + 2y - 5x + 4y = (3 - 5)x + (2 + 4)y = -2x + 6y

Using Distributive Property

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Example: 2(x + 3y) = 2x + 6y

Simplifying Exponents

x^a · x^b = x^(a+b)

x^a ÷ x^b = x^(a-b)

(x^a)^b = x^(a·b)

Example: x^2 · x^3 = x^5

Complex Expression Simplification

Simplify complex algebraic expressions including those with square roots, fractions, and trigonometric functions.

Common Trigonometric Identities

Pythagorean Identities

sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

tan²(x) + 1 = sec²(x)

1 + cot²(x) = csc²(x)

Double Angle Formulas

sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

cos(2x) = cos²(x) - sin²(x) = 2cos²(x) - 1 = 1 - 2sin²(x)

Rational Functions

Analyze and manipulate rational functions, find domains, asymptotes, and more. Our tools provide comprehensive analysis of rational expressions.

Rational Expression Simplification

Simplify, add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.

Working with Rational Expressions

Simplifying Rational Expressions

Factor numerator and denominator, then cancel common factors.

Example: (x² - 4)/(x - 2) = ((x - 2)(x + 2))/(x - 2) = x + 2 for x ≠ 2

Adding/Subtracting Rational Expressions

Find a common denominator, then add/subtract numerators.

Example: 1/x + 2/y = (y + 2x)/(xy)

Multiplying Rational Expressions

Multiply numerators and denominators, then simplify.

Example: (x/y) · (y/z) = xy/yz = x/z

Partial Fraction Decomposition

Decompose rational expressions into simpler fractions.

Rational Function Analysis

Analyze rational functions to find domains, vertical and horizontal asymptotes, holes, and more.
