  2. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    First stated in. 1929; 95 years ago (1929) In elementary algebra, FOIL is a mnemonic for the standard method of multiplying two binomials [1] —hence the method may be referred to as the FOIL method. The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product: F irst ("first" terms of each binomial are multiplied together) O uter ("outside ...

  3. Trinomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial

    For instance, the polynomial x 2 + 3x + 2 is an example of this type of trinomial with n = 1. The solution a 1 = −2 and a 2 = −1 of the above system gives the trinomial factorization: x 2 + 3x + 2 = (x + a 1)(x + a 2) = (x + 2)(x + 1). The same result can be provided by Ruffini's rule, but with a more complex and time-consuming process.

  4. Trinomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_expansion

    Trinomial expansion. In mathematics, a trinomial expansion is the expansion of a power of a sum of three terms into monomials. The expansion is given by. where n is a nonnegative integer and the sum is taken over all combinations of nonnegative indices i, j, and k such that i + j + k = n. [1] The trinomial coefficients are given by.

  5. Rouché's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouché's_theorem

    t. e. Rouché's theorem, named after Eugène Rouché, states that for any two complex -valued functions f and g holomorphic inside some region with closed contour , if |g(z)| < |f(z)| on , then f and f + g have the same number of zeros inside , where each zero is counted as many times as its multiplicity. This theorem assumes that the contour ...

  6. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind. For example, 3 × 5 is an integer factorization of 15, and (x – 2) (x + 2) is a polynomial ...

  7. Pascal's pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_pyramid

    Pascal's pyramid is the three-dimensional analog of the two-dimensional Pascal's triangle, which contains the binomial numbers and relates to the binomial expansion and the binomial distribution. The binomial and trinomial numbers, coefficients, expansions, and distributions are subsets of the multinomial constructs with the same names.

  8. Primitive polynomial (field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_polynomial...

    In finite field theory, a branch of mathematics, a primitive polynomial is the minimal polynomial of a primitive element of the finite field GF (pm). This means that a polynomial F(X) of degree m with coefficients in GF (p) = Z/pZ is a primitive polynomial if it is monic and has a root α in GF (pm) such that is the entire field GF (pm).

  9. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    Factorization of polynomials. In mathematics and computer algebra, factorization of polynomials or polynomial factorization expresses a polynomial with coefficients in a given field or in the integers as the product of irreducible factors with coefficients in the same domain. Polynomial factorization is one of the fundamental components of ...
