Answers
Answer:
Polynomials
Vocabulary
End behavior
What is going on at the ends of each graph.
Leading coefficient
The numbers written in front of the variable
with the largest exponent.
Local maximum
The greatest value in a set of points.
Local minimum
The least value in set of points.
Monomial
Consisting of one term
Multiplicity
A large number
Polynomial
is the sum of one or more monomials with
real coefficients and non negative integer
exponents.
Polynomial function
real numbers and n are a non negative
integer.
Synthetic division
A shorthand, or shortcut, method of
polynomial division in the case of dividing
by a linear factor.
Turning point
a time at which a decisive change in a situation occurs
Transforming polynomial
function
Vertical=f(x)+K
Horizontal=F(x+h)
Vertical stretch=Af(x)
Investigating graphs of
polynomial functions
Linear graph=degree 1
Quadratic graph=degree 2
Cubic graph=degree 3
Quartic graph=degree 4
Quintic graph=degree 5
Finding real roots of
polynomial equations.
Use the zero product property tot find the
zeros or solutions.
Fundamental theorem
of algebra.
Use the Zero product property to find the
solutions of the numbers and then factor
the solutions.
Dividing polynomials
You can either use long term division or
synthetic division
Factoring polynomials
X-A must equal 0 so to see if the given
binomial is a factor of the polynomial
you use synthetic substitution and if it equals 0 then it is a factor.
Identifying the leading
coefficient and the
degree of a polynomial
5x^3+15
The Leading coefficient would be 5 and the
degree would be 3
Multiplying and monomial and a
polynomial
(x+2)(x^2+3x+5)
You multiply x by everything in the other
parenthesis and then multiply 2 by
everything in the other parenthesis and
then you combine like terms
