Problem 1
Use Pascal's Triangle to expand each binomial. $$(a+b)^{3}$$
Problem 2
Use Pascal's Triangle to expand each binomial. $$ (x-y)^{2} $$
Problem 2
For each equation, state the number of complex roots, the possible number of real roots, and the possible rational roots. $$ 3 x^{2}-7=0 $$
Problem 4
For each equation, state the number of complex roots, the possible number of real roots, and the possible rational roots. $$ 2 x^{5}-4 x^{4}-4 x^{2}+5=0 $$
Problem 4
Use the Rational Root Theorem to list all possible rational roots for each polynomial equation. Then find any actual rational roots. $$ 2 x^{3}-9 x^{2}-11 x+8=0 $$
Problem 6
Use the Rational Root Theorem to list all possible rational roots for each polynomial equation. Then find any actual rational roots. $$ x^{4}+2 x^{2}-15=0 $$
Problem 6
