(3x+ 5x - 2) + (-2x2 - 2x + 2)

x+ 3x 

100

Find the zeroes of y = (x-3)(x+1)(x)

3, -1, 0
100

Which direction will the range of the graph of
y = -x+3x - 1 go towards as x gets larger and larger? 

y will go towards negative infinity 

100

Expand (x+5)2

x2+10x+25

100

What is the maximum number of turns the polynomial
y = 3x5+4x6-2x+1 can have?

Maximum of 5 turns (degree = 6) 

200

(2x - 7x2 + 5 - 2) - (3x3 + 7x2 - 7)

-3x3-14x2+2x+10

200

Find the zeroes of y = x2 - 8x + 15

3, 5
200

What happens at the zero of -1 of the polynomial
y = (x+1)2(x-1)3?

The graph turns around (even degree)

200

Expand (x+3)3

x3+9x2+27x+27

200

What is the end behavior of the polynomial
y = -5x4?

As x -> infinity,  y ->  negative infinity
as x -> negative infinity, y -> negative infinity

(graph is going down on the y-axis as you go both further left and right on the x-axis due to negative L.C. and even degree)

300

(2x2 - 3)(2x2 + 3)

4x4-9

300

Find the real zeroes of y = (x6-27)

-sqrt(3), sqrt(3)

300
Show algebraically that the function y = 2x2 is even

Because f(x) = -f(x) f(2) = 8 and f(-2) = 8

300

Expand (x - y)3

x3-3x2y+3xy2-y3

300

Is the function y = |x -2| odd, even, or neither? Show algebraically

Neither, e.x. f(2) = 0, f(-2) = -4, these values should either be the same (even function) or opposite (odd function) 
400

(x2+14x+38) divided by (x+8)

(x+6) R -10

400

Find the zeroes of y = 2x3-8x

x = -2, 0, 2 

400

Write a polynomial that goes through the zero of 2, and turns around at the zeroes of 0 and -3

e.x. (x-2)(x)2(x+3)4

400

What is the the fourth term in the expansion of
(4y + x)4?

16x3y

400

Is (x - 1) a factor of x2-7x+10? Why or why not? 

No, remainder of 4 when you divide

500

4x2-33 divided by (7x + 7) 

6x - 6 R 9 

500

Find all the zeroes of y = x3+9x2+23x+15 if (x+5) is a factor. 

x = -1, -3, -5

500

Factor the polynomial (27x6+125)

(3x2+5)(9x4-15x2+25) -> sum of cubes

500

What is the coefficient of x3y2 in the expansion of
(x - 3y)5?

90

500

If a polynomial P(x) is divided by a factor (x + 2) and shows a remainder of 0, what does the Remainder Theorem tell us we should expect when we evaluate P(-2)? 

P(-2) should also = 0
