What is the equation of a polynomial with zeros at x=\frac{5}{3}, x=-2, and x=4?

Back

Front

How do you find the discriminant of a quadratic equation?

Back

Front

What does the discriminant tell you about the solutions of a quadratic equation?

Back

If D > 0, there are two distinct real solutions. If D = 0, there is one real solution. If D < 0, there are two complex solutions.

Front

What is the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

The end behavior describes how the function behaves as x approaches positive or negative infinity.

Front

What is the quadratic formula?

Back

Front

How do you determine the number of real solutions from the discriminant?

Back

Evaluate the discriminant: If D > 0, two real solutions; D = 0, one real solution; D < 0, no real solutions.

Front

What is a zero of a polynomial?

Back

A zero of a polynomial is a value of x that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

Front

How do you factor a polynomial given its zeros?

Back

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in a polynomial?

Back

The leading coefficient determines the end behavior of the polynomial function.

Front

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

Back

A polynomial of degree n can have at most n real zeros.
