Each learning path is one chapter: a guided route through a topic, one small course at a time. Pick a class to see its chapters in order.
The cost of a taxi, the height of a thrown ball and the area of a garden can all be written with expressions such as x² + 3x + 2. These expressions are called polynomials. In this chapter we learn what they are, how to find the numbers that make them zero, and how to split them into smaller factors. We also learn the identities that make long multiplications short. We use Python to calculate values and to check our factors.
