Math 90 4.4 "Polynomials and Polynomial Functions" Objectives: * De…ne and classify polynomials. * Evaluate and graph polynomial functions. De…ne Polynomials De…nition: "Polynomials" kA polynomial is an algebraic expression that is the sum of one or more terms containing whole number exponents on the variables. 5x + 3; 4n2 Examples: 6n 8; p3 + 3p2 q + 3pq 2 + q 3 ; 5 2 4 2 rs t Classifying Polynomials According to Their Number of Terms Polynomials with just one term are called Polynomials with just two terms are called Polynomials with just three terms are called Example 1: (Classifying polynomials according to the number of terms) Classify each polynomial as a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or none of these. a) x2 c) 2x4 10x + 25 b) 7x3 + x2 + x 6x4 d) x5 6 5 Classifying Polynomials According to Their Degree De…nition: "Degree of a Term of a Polynomial" The degree of a term of a polynomial in one variable is the value of the exponent on the variable. If a polynomial is in more than one variable, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents on the variables in that term. The degree of a nonzero constant is 0 . The constant 0 has no de…ned degree. De…nition: "Degree of a Polynomial" kThe degree of a polynomial is the same as the highest degree of any term of the polynomial.k Polynomials According to Degree Name Degree Linear First-degree Quadratic Second-degree Cubic Third-degree Example Page: 1 Notes by Bibiana Lopez Beginning and Intermediate Algebra by Gustafson and Frisk 4.4 Example 2: (Finding the degree of polynomials) Find the degree of each polynomial. a) 4x3 Term 5x2 + 3x Coe¢ cient b) 5x4 y 2 + 7xy 2 16x3 y 5 Term Coe¢ cient Degree Degree Evaluate Polynomial Functions De…nition: "Polynomial Functions" kA polynomial function is a function whose equation is de…ned by a polynomial in one variable.k Example 3: (Evaluating polynomials) Evaluate the polynomial 3x2 + x 2 when x = 0, x = 2, and x = 3: Functions and Function Notation De…nition: "Function" Any equation in x and y where each value of x (the input) determines one value of y (the output) is called a function. In this case, we say that y is a function of x. The set of all input values x is called the domain of the function, and the set of all output values y is called the range. Function Notation: indicates that the variable y is a function of x: The notation Example 4: (Evaluating functions) If y = f (x) = 4x2 a) f ( 2) 2x + 3, …nd each value. b) f Page: 2 1 2 Notes by Bibiana Lopez Beginning and Intermediate Algebra by Gustafson and Frisk 4.4 Graphing Polynomial Functions The Linear Function Example 5: (Linear Function) Graph f (x) = 2x 3 y 4 x y (x; y) 2 Domain : -4 -2 2 4 x -2 Range: -4 The Square Function Example 6: (Square Function) Graph y = x2 y 10 x y (x; y) 8 6 Domain : 4 Range: 2 -6 -4 -2 2 4 6 -2 x Cube Function Example 7: (Cube function) Graph y = x3 x y y (x; y) 8 6 4 Domain : 2 Range: -4 -2 -2 2 4 x -4 -6 -8 Page: 3 Notes by Bibiana Lopez
