field of geometry is called a geometer. In this section we are going to either be given the list of zeroes
or they will be easy to find. In the next section we will go into a
method for determining a large portion of the list for most
polynomials. We are graphing first since the method for
finding all the zeroes of a polynomial can be a little long and
we don’t want to obscure the details of this section in the
mess of finding the zeroes of the polynomial.

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic


sequence is called an arithmetic series The remainder theorem states that when a polynomial,
f(x), is divided by a linear polynomial , x - a, the remainder
of that division will be equivalent to f(a).
Sum of the terms arithmetic sequence- Sum of the First n
Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
Suppose a sequence of numbers is arithmetic (that is, it
increases or decreases by a constant amount each term),
and you want to find the sum of the first n terms.
Denote this partial sum by Sn . Then
Sn=n(a1 + an)2 ,
where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and an
is the last term.

theorem, rational zero test or p/q theorem) states a

Equivalently, a sequence is a harmonic progression when The theorem states that each rational solution x = p/q,
each term is the harmonic mean of the neighboring terms. written in lowest terms so that p and q are relatively prime,
As a third equivalent characterization, it is an infinite satisfies:
sequence of the form • p is an integer factor of the constant term a0, and
• q is an integer factor of the leading coefficient an.

finite sequence of the form linear factor) of Gauss's lemma on the factorization of
polynomials. The integral root theorem is the special case
where a is not zero, k is a natural number and −a/d is not of the rational root theorem when the leading coefficient is
a natural number or is greater than k. an = 1.

considered a full circle arc length.

A minor arc is the shorter arc connecting two endpoints If two central angles of a circle (or of congruent

The measure of a minor arc is less than 180°180° , and are congruent. (Short form: If central angles congruent,

A major arc is the longer arc connecting two endpoints

The measure of a major arc is greater than 180°180° ,
