What is the relationship between the degree of a polynomial and its zeros?

The number of zeros of a polynomial is related to its degree. A polynomial of degree n can have up to n real zeros, counting multiplicities.

What is a polynomial function?

A polynomial function is a function that can be represented by a polynomial equation. For example, $$f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 5$$ is a polynomial function.

What is the standard form of a polynomial?

The standard form of a polynomial is written in descending order of the degree of its terms. For example, $$f(x) = 4x^3 + 2x^2 - x + 7$$ is in standard form.

What is the significance of the zeros of a polynomial in graphing?

The zeros of a polynomial indicate where the graph intersects the x-axis. They are critical points for determining the shape of the graph.

What is synthetic division?

Synthetic division is a simplified method of dividing a polynomial by a linear factor of the form $$(x - c)$$ . It is faster than long division for polynomials.

What is the Remainder Theorem?

The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial $$f(x)$$ is divided by $$(x - c)$$ , the remainder is $$f(c)$$ .

What is the Factor Theorem?

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial $$f(x)$$ has a factor $$(x - c)$$ if and only if $$f(c) = 0$$ .

What is the end behavior of a polynomial?

The end behavior of a polynomial describes how the values of the polynomial behave as x approaches positive or negative infinity. It is determined by the leading term.
