Summary Polynomial long division is normal long division but with polynomials instead of just numbers. If a polynomial p(x) is to be divided by (x – a) and p(a) = 0 then we can say that (x – a) is a factor of the polynomial Revise the steps below to be able to carry out … Read more

Summary Remember these formulas of partial fractions for different types of fractions: We can recall from GCSE’s that to transform a function consisting of many fractions into a single fraction, we take LCM (lowest common factor) of the entire function i.e: if we have a function , we take its LCM and make it into … Read more
