Ch. 4 - DOK 1 (Polynomials and Polynomial Functions)

What does it mean to simplify monomial expressions?

• To rewrite an expression without parentheses or negative exponents.
• To rewrite an expression with parentheses and negative exponents.
• To rewrite an expression using only one variable, addition, and subtraction.
• To rewrite an expression using only one variable, multiplication, and division.

The degree of a polynomial is determined by...

• combining the powers of all terms in the polynomial. 
• the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial.
• combining the exponents of the leading term and terminating term.
• the smallest degree of any term in the polynomial.

Which process could define synthetic division?

• A method used to divide a monomial by a binomial.
• A method used to divide a polynomial by a monomial.
• A method used to divide a polynomial by a binomial.
• A method used to divide a binomial by a polynomial.

The expression
3x² - 4x - 12 
could be best described as a...

• polynomial with complex roots.
• degree 3 polynomial.
• binomial.
• polynomial in one variable.

Identify what should be the leading coefficient in the following polynomial:
2x² + 22x⁴y³ -12x⁵y³ - 3y³

• -12
• -3
• 2
• 22

What is a polynomial function?

• A function that takes the shape of a "v."
• A function that creates an ellipse or a circle.
• A function that increases or decreases exponentially.
• A function that is continuous and represented by a polynomial equation.

What is a power function?

• A polynomial function in the form f(x) = axⁿ where a and n are real numbers.
• A function that creates an ellipse or a circle.
• A function that increases or decreases exponentially.
• A function with 3 as its highest degree.

What is end behavior?

• The behavior of the graph as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity.
• The behavior of the graph as y approaches positive infinity or negative infinity.
• The behavior of the graph as x approaches 0.
• The behavior of the graph as y approaches 0.
