Polynomial Graphs Test Study

What is another way to say "where a function crosses the x-axis"?

• x-intercept

• zero

• root

• all of these.

The degree of the polynomial determines the max number of roots.

• True

• False

Factor
x² -16x + 48

• (x - 12)(x - 4)
• (x + 6)(x - 8)
• (x + 12)(x - 4)
• (x -16)(x - 3)

If a zero of a polynomial function has multiplicity 4 that means:

• The x intercept is at (4, 0)
• The graph will "bounce back" at that zero
• The graph will "pass through" at that zero
• Zeros cannot have multiplicity of 4

Match the graph to the function

• f(x)= -x²+3x+2
• f(x) = -x³+2
• f(x) = x³+2
• f(x) = ⅓x⁴-5x²+2

f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² + 4x -10

What is the degree of f(x)?

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 0

How many roots or zeros does the equation
f(x) = 5x⁴-8x³+4x²-6x+3 have?

• 3
• 4
• 5
• 0

What do "zeros" represent?

• something a polynomial can not be.

• the place that the polynomial crosses the x axis/ the x value that makes the whole equation equal to zero

• the place that the polynomial crosses the y axis/ the y value where x=0

• the number zero

To find zeroes of polynomials, we...

• say x=0

• make pancakes

• ask NASA

• set factors equal to zero
