Polynomials I Remainder theorem: The remainder after dividing a polynomial p{x) by (x - a) is p(a) 2 Factorization of a polynomial: If a is a zero of a polynomial p (x), then (x- a) is a factor of p(x) This follows from ( I ) above since p(a) = 0 If a1,a2, an the zeros of an nth degree polyno mial, then are p(x) = a(x- aJ)(x - a2) · · · (x - a,.) where a is the leading coefficient of p(x) 3 Fundamental... canceling on both sides of an inequality one aa a � must look at the sign of the quantity that is being canceled 4 If a � I , then ( I + x)a � I + ax for x > - I If 0 < + + ( I x)a � I ax for x > - I This is known as Bernoulli's inequality 2.3 a < I then Geometry I The areas of two triangles having equal bases(heights ) are in the ratio of their heights(bases) 2 If ABC and DEF are two triangles, then... may lie inside or outside the circle), then AO OB CO OD Conversely, if AB and CD are two line segments intersecting at 0 such that AO OB = CO OD, then the four points A, B, C, D are concyclic · · · · 7 (This may be considered as a limiting case of 6, in which A and coincide and the chord AB becomes the tangent at A) B If OA is a tangent to a circle at A from a point 0 outside the circle and OCD is any
