factor theorem?
if f(b/a)=0 then (ax-b) is a factor (the thing that makes the bracket zero)
in partial fractions but it’s an improper fraction, what do you do?
divide the numerator by the denominator and keep the remainder over the fraction ( just like with normal numbers!)
what is the discriminant?
b^2-4ac
if the discriminant is 0…
there is one real root
if the discriminant is less than zero…
there are no real roots
if the discriminant is greater than zero…
there are two real roots

/\/
negative cubic shape
\/\
positive quartic shape
\/\/
negative quartic shape
/\/\
a repeated root on a graph means it is…

a ^3 repeated root means…
point of infliction
a ^4 repeated root means…
a wide and low parabola
what is an asymptote
where a graph approaches a line but never touches it
