Pre-Calculus 20

Today we discovered how important it is to write polynomials in decending powers of x, especially when dividing. It's important to add missing terms in with a coefficient of 0. Be sure to get some extra practice in if you're unsure of how to do this...there'll be a quiz soon.

We also started looking at radicals and that if we treat them just like variables we can add and subtract them just like terms in algebra.

Tomorrow we'll look at finishing up the division of polynomials and move on to working with radicals.
