FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does multiplicity of a zero mean?

Back

Multiplicity of a zero refers to how many times a particular zero (or root) of a polynomial equation is repeated.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which of the following could be the equation of the graph in factored form? y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4), y=(x+1)²(x-2)(x-4)³, y=x(x+1)(x-2)(x-4), y=(x+1)³(x-3)(x-1)²

Back

y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4) is a valid equation in factored form.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if a polynomial function has an odd degree?

Back

If a polynomial function has an odd degree, it means that the graph will have opposite end behaviors, typically going from the bottom left to the top right.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if a polynomial function has an even degree?

Back

If a polynomial function has an even degree, it means that the graph will have the same end behavior, typically going from the top left to the top right or bottom left to bottom right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine the number of real zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

The number of real zeros can be determined by analyzing the degree of the polynomial and using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the leading coefficient of a polynomial?

Back

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree in a polynomial.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient's sign?

Back

The sign of the leading coefficient determines the end behavior of the polynomial graph.
