    E.g.: x**2 + 3*x + 5 will be represented as [1, 3, 5] """ out = list (dividend) # Copy the dividend normalizer = divisor [0] for i in range (len (dividend)-len (divisor) + 1): # For general polynomial division (when polynomials are non-monic), # we need to normalize by dividing the coefficient with the divisor's first coefficient out [i ...

  3. Like terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_terms

    As this example shows, when like terms exist in an expression, they may be combined by adding or subtracting (whatever the expression indicates) the coefficients, and maintaining the common factor of both terms. Such combination is called combining like terms or collecting like terms, and it is an important tool used for solving equations.

    The solution set of the equation ⁠ x 2 / 4 ⁠ + y 2 = 1 forms an ellipse when interpreted as a set of Cartesian coordinate pairs. Main article: Solution set The solution set of a given set of equations or inequalities is the set of all its solutions, a solution being a tuple of values, one for each unknown , that satisfies all the equations ...

    [17] [18] For example, the fraction 1/(x 2 + 1) is not a polynomial, and it cannot be written as a finite sum of powers of the variable x. For polynomials in one variable, there is a notion of Euclidean division of polynomials , generalizing the Euclidean division of integers.

  6. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    For example, if a system contains , a system over the rational numbers is obtained by adding the equation r 2 22 = 0 and replacing by r 2 in the other equations. In the case of a finite field, the same transformation allows always supposing that the field k has a prime order.

  7. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...
