How do you classify a polynomial function by degree and leading coefficient?

Back

A polynomial function can be classified as Even Degree with a Negative Leading Coefficient.

Front

If the graph of a function touches the x-axis, what does that indicate about the multiplicity of that zero?

Back

It indicates that the multiplicity of that zero is Even.

The leading coefficient is 3.

Front

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

Back

If a polynomial has an odd degree, it means the ends of the graph will go in opposite directions.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in determining the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

The leading coefficient determines whether the ends of the graph rise or fall.

Front

How do you find the zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

To find the zeros, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

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

Back

The degree of a polynomial indicates the maximum number of zeros it can have.

Front

What does it mean for a zero to have an odd multiplicity?

Back

A zero with an odd multiplicity will cross the x-axis at that point.
