This document discusses several topics relating to polynomials including: - Standard form of polynomials and arranging terms in descending order by exponent - Leading coefficients and degrees of polynomials - Factoring polynomials using greatest common factors, difference of squares, factoring trinomials, and factoring cubes - Dividing polynomials using long division and synthetic division - Graphing polynomial functions using calculators to find zeros and analyze characteristics like end behavior, maximums/minimums, and changes in direction - Solving polynomial equations using synthetic division and possible real roots based on factors of coefficients
