1st Pre-Lim Examination in Advance Mathematics

GENERAL DIRECTIIONS:
A. Write your answer clearly!(‘Yong malinaw, hindi katulad ng pagmamahal niya sayo na hindi mo na
maintindihan.)
B. Do not cheat! (Huwag tumulad sa EX mo, akala mo loyal nung kayo pa, yon pala may iba na.)
C. Finish the exam on time! (Kung nasasaktan ka na ng dahil sa kanya kailangan alam mo ang oras kung
kailan ka susuko.)

____________________1. An expression of the form a n x n +an−1 x n−1 +…+ a2 x2 +a 1 x +a0 ,where

a 0 , a1 , … , an are real numbers and n is a whole number.
____________________2. Any polynomial that is written with descending powers of the variable.
____________________3. The value of the highest exponent of the variable.
____________________4. A degree-3 polynomial function
____________________5. Denoted by f +g , is the function defined by ( f + g )( x )=f ( x )+ g ( x).
____________________6. Denoted by f • g , is the function defined by ( f • g )( x )=f ( x ) • g ( x ).
____________________7. Denoted by f −g , is the function defined by ( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g(x ).
____________________8. Denoted by ( f ∘ g ) , is defined by ( f ∘ g )( x )=f ( g ( x ) ) .
____________________9. The process of obtaining a composite function.
____________________10. An efficient way to divide a polynomial by a binomial of the form x−k ,
where k is the value that makes the binomial in the divisor equal to 0.
____________________11. The opposite process of multiplying polynomials.
____________________12. A ________________has the form ax 2 +bx +c .
____________________13. x 2−4=( x−2)(x+ 2): This only holds for a ______________ of two squares.
____________________14. The trinomials on the right are called _____________ because they are the
squares of a single binomial, rather than the product of two different
binomials.
____________________15. A __________is more difficult to factor when the coefficient of the squared
term is not 1.
