Polynomials and Rational Functions

Directions:

In this section (Process), you will find all the resources that you will need in order to fulfill the said requirements and tasks. All you have to do is click on the blue colored text in which a hyperlink is programed to direct you to another website where you will find the information you are looking for.

Click on the words which are colored in blue or any topic that, you want to know. It is advisible to go first through the said links and study the websites which contains the information needed to fulfill the said requirements.

After reading and studying the definition of Polynomials up to the Rational Functions, you are now going to start to answer the attachments found at the end of this website and print it out together with the solutions following the said format (found at the task website).

Gather all the informations on how to solve for the different operations on Polynomials and create a powerpoint presentation for the each operation ( format and requirements found at the task website)

Enjoy studying!!!
To be animated and test how much have you learned, try the Game section found on the end of the page.

Note: Don't forget to print the game while playing it and attach it at the last page of the attachment you have finish solving and leaving a comment (see format at the task website).
