A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. \(6{x^5} - 3{x^2} + 7\) is a polynomial in \(x\) of degree \(5\). \(4{x^2} - 8x\) is a polynomial in \(x\) of degree ...

If \((x \pm h)\) is a factor of a polynomial, then the remainder will be zero. Conversely, if the remainder is zero, then \((x \pm h)\) is a factor. Often, factorising a polynomial requires some ...
