What is the definition of a polynomial function?
A polynomial function is a function that involves only odd powers of x.
A polynomial function is a function that has a square root in its equation.
A polynomial function is a function that can only have one term.
A polynomial function is a function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = a_n*x^n + a_(n-1)*x^(n-1) + ... + a_1*x + a_0, where n is a non-negative integer and a_n, a_(n-1), ..., a_1, a_0 are constants.
How can you identify the degree of a polynomial function from its equation?
Check the constant term in the equation.
Look at the coefficient of the variable with the lowest power.
Look at the highest power of the variable in the equation.
Count the number of terms in the equation.
Explain the concept of leading coefficient in a polynomial function.
The leading coefficient in a polynomial function is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the lowest degree in a polynomial function.
The leading coefficient is always negative in a polynomial function.
The leading coefficient is the sum of all coefficients in a polynomial function.
Describe the general shape of the graph of a quadratic polynomial function.
Straight line
Hyperbola

Sum of coefficients
Degree of the polynomial
How do you find the zeros of a polynomial function graphically?
Count the number of y-intercepts
Look for the x-intercepts on the graph where the function crosses the x-axis.
Look for the maximum value on the graph
Find the slope of the function at a given point
If a polynomial function has a zero at x=3, what can you say about the graph at that point?
The graph of the function has a vertical asymptote at x=3.

What is the relationship between the roots of a polynomial function and its factors?
The roots of a polynomial function are unrelated to its factors
The roots of a polynomial function are always equal to its factors
The roots of a polynomial function are inversely proportional to its factors
The roots of a polynomial function correspond to its factors.
Explain the concept of multiplicity of zeros in a polynomial function.
The multiplicity of zeros refers to the number of zeros in a polynomial function.
In a polynomial function, multiplicity of zeros indicates the number of terms in the function.
Multiplicity of zeros is the same as the degree of the polynomial function.
The concept of multiplicity of zeros in a polynomial function relates to the number of times a specific zero is repeated in the factorization of the polynomial.
How can you determine the end behavior of a polynomial function?
Look at the y-intercept of the polynomial function.
