Polynomial Inequalities Quiz

What is the first step in solving polynomial inequalities algebraically?

• Get everything on one side and set it to zero

• Graph the inequality on a coordinate plane

• Simplify the inequality by dividing by the highest coefficient

• Use the quadratic formula

When using the number line to solve inequalities, what does a closed circle represent?

• The inequality is less than zero

• The point is included in the solution

• The inequality is greater than zero

• The point is not included in the solution

In the context of polynomial inequalities, what does 'sine analysis' help determine?

• The axis of symmetry of the graph

• The intervals where the polynomial is positive or negative

• The degree of the polynomial

• The exact value of the roots

What is the purpose of factoring a polynomial inequality?

• To determine the degree of the polynomial

• To simplify the inequality for easier graphing

• To find the x-intercepts of the graph

• To convert the inequality into a quadratic equation

In the quadratic inequality example, why are the points on the number line open circles?

• Because the inequality is less than zero, not equal to zero

• Because the inequality is greater than zero, not equal to zero

• Because the inequality is equal to zero

• Because the inequality is undefined at those points

What is the result of multiplying two negative numbers in the context of sine analysis?

• A negative number

• A positive number

• An undefined result

• Zero

In the example involving factoring by grouping, what is the significance of the leading coefficient being positive?

• The graph is a straight line

• The graph opens downwards

• The graph opens upwards

• The graph has no x-intercepts

What does it mean when a polynomial graph 'bounces' off the x-axis?

• The polynomial changes direction at that point

• The polynomial has no real roots

• The polynomial is undefined at that point

• The polynomial has a double root at that point

What is the interval notation for a solution that includes all numbers greater than 1?

• (1, ∞)

• [1, ∞)

• [1, ∞]

• (1, ∞]
