A perfect square a quadratic with a specific structure. This structure allows for a very specific factorization. We will learn how to factor a perfect square and practice how to identify a perfect square.
You have seen factors of numbers and looked for common factors among pairs of numbers. Here we will look at polynomials and how to find the factors of a polynomial.
You have seen factors of numbers. Here we introduce factors and factoring polynomials. This is the process of rewriting a polynomials as a produce of polynomials of lesser degree.
What does the degree of a polynomial mean and what is it? Find the answer to this question and learn how to identify the degree of a polynomial.
The length of a line is not necessarily a practical value as a line goes on for ever. The length of a line is infinite. However, the length of a line segment is of more value and is a finite value. Any time we measure how long a package is or how long our table is, we are taking the length of a line segment. Learn the formula for finding the length of a line segment when given two points in either 2 dimensions or in 3 dimensions.
What does it mean for points to be equidistant? We take a look at the meaning of this and then look at how we can determine if points are equidistant using mathematics and formulas we have seen such as the distance formula.
