What is the standard form of a polynomial?

Front

How do you identify the minimum point on a graph?

Back

The minimum point on a graph is the lowest point on the curve, where the function changes from decreasing to increasing. It can be found using calculus by setting the derivative equal to zero and solving for the variable.

Front

What does it mean for a value to be negative in a graph?

Back

A negative value in a graph indicates that the point lies below the x-axis. This means the y-coordinate of that point is less than zero.

Front

Define the range of a function.

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce. It is determined by the values that the function takes as the input varies.

Front

What is the maximum point on a graph?

Back

The maximum point on a graph is the highest point on the curve, where the function changes from increasing to decreasing. It can be found using calculus by setting the derivative equal to zero and solving for the variable.

Front

What is the difference between domain and range?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values), while the range is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

What is a polynomial?

Back

Front

How do you convert a polynomial to standard form?

Back

To convert a polynomial to standard form, rearrange the terms in descending order of their degrees, ensuring that like terms are combined.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a graph that represents the input values (domain) of a function. It is used to plot the independent variable.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a graph that represents the output values (range) of a function. It is used to plot the dependent variable.
