  1. Polynomial Functions Chapter 7 Algebra 2B

  2. an a0 n– 1 n n leading coefficient an a0 degree n an 0 descending order of exponents from left to right. A polynomial function is a function of the form f(x) = an xn+ an– 1xn– 1+· · ·+ a1x + a0 For this polynomial function, only one variable (x) an is the leading coefficient, a0 is the constant term, and nis the degree. Where an 0 and the exponents are all whole numbers. A polynomial function is in standard form if its terms are written in descending order of exponents from left to right.

  3. Degree Type Standard Form You are already familiar with some types of polynomial functions. Here is a summary of common types ofpolynomial functions. 0 Constant f (x) = a0 1 Linear f (x) = a1x + a0 2 Quadratic f (x) = a2x2+a1x + a0 3 Cubic f (x) = a3x3+ a2x2+a1x + a0 4 Quartic f (x) = a4x4 + a3x3+ a2x2+a1x + a0

  4. Value of a function: f (k) One way to evaluate polynomial functions is to usedirect substitution. Another way to evaluate a polynomialis to use synthetic substitution.

  5. Real Zeros of a polynomial function: Maximum number of real zeros is equal to the degree of the polynomial.Real zeros: where the graph crosses the x-axis. How many (total) zeros do the following functions have? f(x) = x + 2 g(x) = x2– 4 h(x) = x3– 2x2 – 10x + 20 p(x) = x4 + 8x2 - 10 one: –2 two: 2, –2 three: -3.16, 2, 3.16 four: -1, 1 & 2 complex The zeros may be real or complex... The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: Counting complex and repeated solutions, an nth degree polynomial equation has exactly n solutions.

  6. The end behavior of a polynomial function’s graphis the behavior of the graph, which isf(x), as x approaches infinity(+ ) or negative infinity (– ). The expression x+ is read as “x approaches positive infinity.” END BEHAVIOR OFPOLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

  8. Identifying Polynomial Functions 1 f(x) = x2– 3x4– 7 2 1 Its standard form is f(x) = –3x4+x2 – 7. 2 Decide whether the function is a polynomial function. If it is, write the function in standard form and state its degree, typeand leading coefficient. SOLUTION The function is a polynomial function. It has degree 4, so it is a quartic function. The leading coefficient is – 3.

  9. Identifying Polynomial Functions f(x) = x3+ 3x Decide whether the function is a polynomial function. If it is, write the function in standard form and state its degree, typeand leading coefficient. SOLUTION The function is not a polynomial function because the term 3xdoes not have a variable base and an exponentthat is a whole number.

  10. Identifying Polynomial Functions f(x) = 6x2+ 2x–1+ x Decide whether the function is a polynomial function. If it is, write the function in standard form and state its degree, typeand leading coefficient. SOLUTION The function is not a polynomial function because the term2x–1has an exponent that is not a whole number.

  11. Identifying Polynomial Functions f(x) = –0.5x+x2– 2 Its standard form is f(x) = x2– 0.5x– 2. Decide whether the function is a polynomial function. If it is, write the function in standard form and state its degree, typeand leading coefficient. SOLUTION The function is a polynomial function. It has degree 2, so it is a quadratic function. The leading coefficient is .

  12. Identifying Polynomial Functions 1 f(x) = x2– 3x4– 7 2 f(x) = –0.5x+ x2– 2 Polynomial function? f(x) = x3+ 3x f(x) = 6x2+ 2x–1+ x

  14. Value of a function Using Direct Substitution Use direct substitution to evaluate Solution: f(x) = 2x4- 8x2 + 5x- 7 when x = 3. f(3) = 2(3)4- 8(3)2 + 5(3)- 7 = 98

  15. Value of a function Using Synthetic Substitution Use synthetic substitution to evaluate f(x) = 2x4 + -8x2 + 5x- 7 when x = 3.
