POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION

The document provides an overview of polynomial functions, defining them as mathematical expressions with variables, constants, and positive exponents. It classifies polynomials by the number of terms (monomial, binomial, trinomial, etc.) and by degree (linear, quadratic, cubic, etc.), and discusses the characteristics of their graphs, including turning points and end behavior. Additionally, it explains the concept of zeroes and multiplicity in polynomial functions.

POLYNOMIAL

FUNCTION
POLYNOMIAL
- a mathematical expression that consists
two or more algebraic terms that are added,
subtracted, or multiplied
- includes at least one variable and typically
contains constants and positive exponents
- in standard form when its terms are written
in descending order of exponents from left
to right
POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION
- a function of the form
, where , is a negative, , , … are real numbers called
coefficients, is the leading coefficient, and is the
constant term

In the polynomial function ,


is the leading term
is the leading coefficient
is the constant term

Note: The DEGREE OF THE POLYNOMIAL is the largest
degree of any term of the polynomial.
Polynomials are classified according to two attributes -- number of
TERMS and DEGREE. Linear functions, quadratic functions, cubic functions
all belong to the class of functions called polynomial functions.

END BEHAVIOR OF GRAPHS OF
POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
Polynomial graphs behave differently depending
on whether the degree is even or odd.
Example 1: The Graph of .

• The graph of the polynomial


function intersects at points (-2, 0),
(1, 0) and (2, 0) which means that
the - intercepts are -2,1 and 2
because .
• The graph intersects at (0, 4),
hence, the -intercept is 4 letting .
• The function when written in
standard form is of degree 3,
therefore it has 2 turning points.
• It falls to the left and rises to
Example 2: The Graph of .
• The graph of the polynomial function
intersects at points (-1, 0), (1, 0)
and (-2, 0) which means that the x-
intercepts are -1,1 and -2 because
.
• The graph intersects at (0, 2), hence
the -intercept is 2 letting.
• Further, the function when written in
standard form is is of degree 3, and
therefore has 2 turning points.
• The graph rises to the left and
falls to the right, that is because
the leading coefficient is
negative.
Example 3: The Graph of
• The polynomial function can be
expressed in factored form as .
• The -intercepts are 0,-3,1 and
2.
• The -intercept is 0.
• It has 3 turning points.
• It rises on both direction
because the degree of the
function is even and the leading
coefficient is positive.
Example 4: The Graph of
• The polynomial is in the factored
form.
• The -intercepts are 3, -1 and
1/2 and 2.
• The -intercept is 6.
• It has 3 turning points.
• It falls on both direction
because the degree of the
function is even and the leading
coefficient is negative
