What does it mean for a polynomial function to have a positive leading coefficient?

Back

A polynomial function has a positive leading coefficient if the coefficient of the term with the highest degree is positive.

What is a relative minimum in the context of polynomial functions?

Back

A relative minimum is a point on the graph of a polynomial function where the function value is lower than the values of the function at nearby points.

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

Back

A polynomial function is a function that can be expressed as a sum of terms, each consisting of a variable raised to a non-negative integer power, while a rational function is a ratio of two polynomial functions.
