Chapter 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions
2.1 Quadratic Functions
Definition of a polynomial function
Let n be a nonnegative integer so n={0,1,2,3…}
Let an , an1 ,..., a2 , a1 , a0 be real numbers with an  0
The function given by
f (x)  a n x n  an1 x n1      a2 x 2  a1 x  a0
Is called a polynomial function of x with degree n
Example: f ( x)  3x 4  2 x 2  x  1
This is a 4th degree polynomial
Polynomial Functions are classified by
degree
For example:
In Chapter 1
Polynomial function
f ( x)  a , with a  0
y

f ( x)  2
Example:
This function has
degree 0, is a
horizontal line and is called
a constant function.

A Polynomial function
f ( x)  mx  b , m  0
is a line whose slope is m
and y-intercept is (0,b)
Example: f ( x)  2 x  3
This function has a degree
of 1,and is called a
linear function.

Section 2.1 Quadratic Functions
Definition of a quadratic function
Let a, b, and c be real numbers with a  0.
The function given by f(x)= ax 2  bx  c
Is called a quadratic function
This is a special U shaped curve called a … ?
Parabola !
y
Parabolas are
symmetric to a
line called the
axis of
symmetry.
The point where
the axis
intersects with
the parabola is
the vertex.

Standard Form of a quadratic Function
f (x)  a( x  h)  k , a  0
2
The graph of f(x) is a parabola whose axis
is the vertical line x=h and whose vertex is
the point (h, k).
NOTE!
h -shifts the graph right or left
k -shifts the graph up or down
For a>0 the parabola opens up
a<0 the parabola opens down

f (x)  a( x  h) 2  k , a  0

Vertex is:
The parabola passes through point
(3,6)
f (x)  a( x  h)  k , a  0

*Remember the vertex is ( h, k )
Because the parabola passed through (3,6) we have:
 6  a(3  1)  2

Baseball
• A baseball is hit at a point 3
feet above the ground at a
velocity of 100 feet per second
and at an angle of 45 degrees
with respect to the ground.
The path of the baseball is
given by the function
f(x)=-0.0032x2 + x + 3, where
f(x) is the height of the
baseball (in feet) and x is the
horizontal distance from home
plate (in feet). What is the
maximum height reached by
the baseball?
Cost
• A soft drink manufacturer
has daily production costs
of C ( x)  70,000  120 x  0.055x 2
where C is the total cost
(in dollars) and x is the
number of units
produced. Estimate
numerically the number of
units that should be
produced each day to
yield a minimum cost.
Grants
• The numbers g of grants
awarded from the National
Endowment for the
Humanities fund from 1999 to
2003 can be approximated by
the model
g (t )  99.14t 2  2, 201.1t  10,896
9≤t≤13 where t represents
the year, with t=9
corresponding to 1999.
Using this model, determine
the year in which the number
of grants awarded was
greatest.
