What is the end behavior of a polynomial function with a leading term of -6x^7?

Back

The end behavior is down on the right and up on the left.

Front

What are the solutions of the equation 36x^2 - 12x + 1 = 4?

Back

The solutions are x = -1/6 and x = 1/2.

Front

How do you find the standard form of a polynomial?

Back

Combine like terms and arrange the terms in descending order of their degrees.

Front

What is the standard form of the polynomial 9x^2 + 5x + 27 + 2x^3?

Back

The standard form is 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 5x + 27.

Front

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The vertex form is y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h,k) is the vertex.

Front

How do you determine the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

Look at the leading term's degree and coefficient.

Front

What is the leading term of the polynomial -6x^7 + 4x^2 - 3?

Back

The leading term is -6x^7.

Front

What does it mean for a polynomial to have an end behavior of up and down?

Back

It means that as x approaches positive infinity, the function goes down, and as x approaches negative infinity, the function goes up.

Front

What is the quadratic formula used for?

Back

The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
