O level Polynomials Quiz 1

15 Questions

Quiz Description

 With 15 questions which have been set based on the national curriculum for the gce at the ordinary level, this quiz, o level polynomials quiz 1, has been set with each question having four options and just one of these options is correct. After going through these questions and getting them correctly, answering gce polynomial questions will be relatively easy for you. Here we will talk about what polynomials are.

A polynomial as seen in mathematics is an algebraic expression which consists of variables (sometimes called indeterminates) and coefficients. Arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication can be performed on polynomials. Division can only be possible when we are dividing the polynomial by a constant and not a variable. An example of a polynomial with one variable is x2+x-12.

The Ordinary level gce past questions are all available for you to check them out and see how the exam looks like.
