- 5. breaking or decomposition of an entity
- 6. an expression which is composed of variables, constants and exponents, that are combined using mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- 9. if it is greater than zero
- 12. an operation where two functions say f and g generate a new function say h in such a way that h(x) = g(f(x

Down
- 1. writing an expression as the product of two or more binomials and is written as (x + m) (x + n)
- 2. a function in which the independent variable is in the radicand (under the radical (√) symbol)
- 3. a function of the coefficients of a polynomial equation whose value gives information about the roots of the polynomial
- 4. ax2 + bx + c = 0
- 7. the coefficient of the term of highest degree in a given polynomial.
- 8. states that if f(x) is a polynomial of degree n greater than or equal to 1, and 'a' is any real number, then (x - a) is a factor of f(x) if f(a) = 0.
- 10. the numbers that are expressed in the form of a+ib where, a,b are real numbers and 'i' is an imaginary number called “iota”
- 11. dividing it into parts
- 13. factors outside the radical are divided by each other and the factors inside the radical are also divided by each other.
