1. (End behavior, Synthetic substitution) is a method for evaluating a
polynomial function f(x) at a particular value of x.
1.______________________
2. A (relative maximum, depressed polynomial) is a turning point where the
graph increases as it approaches the point and decreases as it moves away
from the point.
2. ______________________
3. Writing the polynomial 2𝑥 4 + 9𝑥 2 – 15 as 2(𝑥 2 )2 – 9(𝑥 2 ) – 15 uses the idea
of (leading coefficients, quadratic form).
3. ______________________
4. To (simplify, synthetic substitute) (3𝑥 2 𝑦 2 )(–2𝑥 2 𝑦 3 ) means to write it as 6𝑥 4 𝑦 5 .
4. ______________________
5. A shortcut method used to divide polynomials by binomials is called (end
behavior, synthetic division).
5. ______________________
6. The form we usually write in is called (standard notation, quadratic form).
6. ______________________
7. If a point is on a graph of a polynomial function and no other nearby points of
the graph have a lesser y-coordinate, the point is a relative (maximum,
minimum) of the function.
7. ______________________
8. If 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 – 4x – 12 is divided by x – 2, the quotient will be 𝑥 2 + 5x + 6 and
the remainder will be 0. In this case, 𝑥 2 + 5x + 6 is called the (quadratic
form, depressed polynomial).
8. ______________________
9. The degree and (relative minimum, leading coefficient) of a polynomial
function determines the graph’s end behavior.
9. ______________________
10. The expression 4𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 – 5x + 6 is a(n) (polynomial function, polynomial
in one variable).
