CONCEPTS To subtract polynomials, we subtract terms. So (2x3+9x2+x+10)(x3+x2+6x+8)=.

Fill in the blanks. A monomial is a polynomial with _______ term.

Population The table shows the U.S. populations for the years 1970,1980,1990 and 2000. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Year Population in millions 1970 1980 1990 2000 205 227 249 282 a Find a cubic polynomial that fits the data and use it to estimate the population in 2010. b The actual population in 2010 was 309 million. How does your estimate compare?

Fill in the blanks. A shortcut method for dividing a polynomial by a binomial of the form xc is called _____ division.

Fill in the blanks. A is a quotient of polynomial functions.

Write a third-degree polynomial function with real coefficients and the given zeros. 4,i

Find the quotient: (x43x31000)(x+5) .

Fill in the blanks. A polynomial function is written in form when its terms are written in descending order of exponents from left to right.

Genetics In deer, the gene N is for normal coloring and the gene a is for albino. Any gene combination with an N results in normal coloring. The Punnett square shows the possible gene combinations of an offspring and the resulting colors when both parents have the gene combination Na. (a) What percent of the possible gene combinations result in albino coloring? (b) Each parent’s gene combination is represented by the polynomial 0.5N+0.5a. The product 0.5N+0.5a2 represents the possible gene combinations of an offspring. Findthis product. (c) The coefficient of each term of the polynomial you wrote in part (b) is the probability (indecimal form) of the offspring having that gene combination. Use this polynomial toconfirm your answer in part (a). Explain.
