FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a polynomial function?

Back

A polynomial function is a mathematical expression involving a sum of powers in one or more variables multiplied by coefficients. The general form is f(x) = a_n*x^n + a_(n-1)*x^(n-1) + ... + a_1*x + a_0, where a_n ≠ 0.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the degrees of polynomial functions?

Back

The degree of a polynomial function is the highest power of the variable in the expression. For example, in f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - x + 5, the degree is 3.

Front

What is the end behavior of polynomial functions?

Back

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

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean for a polynomial to be even?

Back

A polynomial is even if f(-x) = f(x) for all x in its domain. This means the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

What does it mean for a polynomial to be odd?

Back

A polynomial is odd if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in its domain. This means the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

Front

How do you find the zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

To find the zeros of a polynomial function, set the function equal to zero and solve for x. The solutions are the x-intercepts of the graph.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between a polynomial and a rational function?

Back

A polynomial function consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents, while a rational function is the ratio of two polynomials.
