Algebra 2 Polynomial Functions

Based on the end behavior of the polynomial, what best describes the leading coefficient?

• a negative real number

•  a positive real number

• an even real number

• an odd real number

Based on the end behavior of the polynomial, what is the degree of the polynomial?

• a negative real number

• a positive real number

• an odd real number

• an even real number

Based on the end behavior which option best describes the leading term?

• negative coefficient, even degree

• negative coefficient, odd degree

• negative degree, odd coefficient

• negative degree, even coefficient

What is the degree of f(x)?

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 0

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

Describe the end behavior of the function.
y = 4x¹⁰

• down and down

• down and up

• up and down

• up and up

Polynomial

• an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication.

• An infinite series with increasing powers (exponents) of a variable.

What are the linear terms of the polynomial function?

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)(x-4)

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)(x+4)

What is the least degree of the polynomial?

• 2

• 4

• 3

• 5

What are the zeros of the polynomial?

• X=5, x=-3(multiplicity of 2)

• x=-3, x=5(multiplicity of 2)

• x=3, x=-5

• x=5
