POLYNOMIALS – TEST REVIEW (The test also includes the concept practice on QuizLab)

 

Simplify each – remember NO negative exponents. Write as a fraction as needed:

Most of these can be done in your head – try it!

 

  1. a * a * a * a
  2. (-5x)^3
  3. x^2*x^5*x^3
  4. (x^2)^3
  5. 15a^8 / 45a^2
  6. (a^3)^4
  7. x^0*x^2
  8. x^-2*x^-5*x^3
  9. c^0*c^2*c^-4
  10. 24x^4 / 6x^6
  11. (x^2*b^3)^3
  12. (4a – 5) + (3a + 6)
  13. (4a – 5) - (3a + 6)
  14. (7x^2 – 8) + (-3x^2 + 1)
  15. (7x^2 – 8) - (-3x^2 + 1)
  16. 6P – (8Q + 5P)
  17. 5(2A + 3B)
  18. 3x (4x – 2y)
  19. (x  + 4) (x + 2)
  20. (x – 3) (x + 5)

 

Express each in scientific notation:

  1. 6387
  2. 560,000

 

Evaluate.  Express each result in scientific and decimal notation:

  1. 1.82 x 10^5  /  9.1 x 10^7
  2.  (5 x 10^-2) (1.4 x 10^-4)

 

Give the Degree of each polynomial:

  1. 1/2x^2 + 3x^3 – 7x + 11
  2. X^5 – 2x^4 + 21

 

Solve each word problem:  Show all work.  Draw a picture as needed.
