4.1 Objective: Students will look at polynomial functions of degree greater than 2, approximate the zeros, and interpret graphs. Remember integers are … –2, -1, 0, 1, 2 … (no decimals or fractions) so positive integers would be 0, 1, 2 … A polynomial function is a function of the form: n must be a positive integer f x an x an 1 x n n 1 a1 x ao All of these coefficients are real numbers The degree of the polynomial is the largest power on any x term in the polynomial. Determine which of the following are polynomial functions. If the function is a polynomial, state its degree. f x 2 x x 4 g x 2 x 0 h x 2 x 1 3 2 F x x x A polynomial of degree 4. We can write in an x0 since this = 1. A polynomial of degree 0. Not a polynomial because of the square root since the power is NOT 1 an integer x x2 Not a polynomial because of the x in the denominator since the power is 1 1 negative x x Graphs of polynomials are smooth and continuous. No sharp corners or cusps No gaps or holes, can be drawn without lifting pencil from paper This IS the graph of a polynomial This IS NOT the graph of a polynomial Let’s look at the graph of even integer. g x x 4 f x x 2 Notice each graph looks similar to x2 but is wider and flatter near the origin between –1 and 1 f x x n where n is an hx x 6 and grows steeper on either side The higher the power, the flatter and steeper Let’s look at the graph of integer. Notice each graph looks similar to x3 but is wider and flatter near the origin between –1 and 1 f x x g x x 5 n where n is an odd and grows steeper on either side hx x 7 f x x 3 The higher the power, the flatter and steeper Let’s graph f x x 2 Reflects about the x-axis 4 Looks like x2 but wider near origin and steeper after 1 and -1 So as long as the function is a transformation of xn, we can graph it, but what if it’s not? We’ll learn some techniques to help us determine what the graph looks like in the next slides. Translates up 2 LEFT and RIGHT HAND BEHAVIOUR OF A GRAPH The degree of the polynomial along with the sign of the coefficient of the term with the highest power will tell us about the left and right hand behaviour of a graph. Even degree polynomials rise on both the left and right hand sides of the graph (like x2) if the coefficient is positive. The additional terms may cause the graph to have some turns near the center but will always have the same left and right hand behaviour determined by the highest powered term. left hand behaviour: rises right hand behaviour: rises Even degree polynomials fall on both the left and right hand sides of the graph (like - x2) if the coefficient is negative. turning points in the middle left hand behaviour: falls right hand behaviour: falls Odd degree polynomials fall on the left and rise on the right hand sides of the graph (like x3) if the coefficient is positive. turning Points in the middle left hand behaviour: falls right hand behaviour: rises Odd degree polynomials rise on the left and fall on the right hand sides of the graph (like x3) if the coefficient is negative. turning points in the middle left hand behaviour: rises right hand behaviour: falls A polynomial of degree n can have at most n-1 turning points (so whatever the degree is, subtract 1 to get the most times the graph could turn). Let’s determine left and right hand behaviour for the graph of the function: doesn’t mean it has that many 4 3 turning2points but that’s the f x x 3x most 15xit can 19 x 30 have degree is 4 which is even and the coefficient is positive so the graph will look like x2 looks off to the left and off to the right. The graph can have at most 3 turning points How do we determine what it looks like near the middle? x 23xx 315 xx 119xx 30 0f x x 5 4 3 2 x and y intercepts would be useful and we know how to find those. To find the y intercept we put 0 in for x. f 0 0 30 150 190 30 30 4 3 2 To find the x intercept we put 0 in for y. Finally we need a smooth curve through the intercepts that has the correct left and right hand behavior. To pass through these points, it will have 3 turns (one less than the degree so that’s okay) (0,30) f x x 3 x 15 x 19 x 30 0 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 5 4 3 2 We found the x intercept by putting 0 in for f(x) or y (they are the same thing remember). So we call the x intercepts the zeros of the polynomial since it is where it = 0. These are also called the roots of the polynomial. 4.2 Dividing Polynomials © 2002 by Shawna Haider 4.2 Properties of Division Objective: We will learn how to use synthetic division which will help us in finding imaginary roots of polynomial functions. Dividing by a Monomial If the divisor only has one term, split the polynomial up into a fraction for each term. 18 x 4 24 x 3 6 x 2 12 x 18 x 4 24 x 3 6 x 2 12 x 6x 6x 6x 6x 6x divisor Now reduce each fraction. 3x3 4x2 4 x 3 2 2 18 x 24 x 6 x 12 x 6x 6x 6x 6x 1 1 1 1 3x 4 x x 2 3 2 Long Division If the divisor has more than one term, perform long division. You do the same steps with polynomial division as with integers. Let's do two problems, one with integers you know how to do and one with polynomials and copy the steps. 28 Subtract (which Now multiply by x + 11 21 x3 changes the sign Bring down the theMultiply divisor and put and 2 + 8x - 5 32 698 x 3 x of each term in next or the answer below. putnumber below Remainder 2 – 3x 64 x the polynomial) term subtract added here 58 3 into 6 First divide or x into x2 11x - 5 over divisor 32 Now divide is the x into 11x 11x - 33 26 3 into 5 This or remainder 28 So we found the answer to the problem x2 + 8x – 5 x – 3 or the problem written another way: x 2 8 x 5 x 3 Let's Try Another One If any powers of terms are missing you should write them in with zeros in front to keep all of your columns straight. 12 Subtract (which y-2 Write out with y2 changes the sign Multiply and Bring Multiply down and the 2 y + 2 y2 + 0y + 8 long division 2 Divide Divide yyinto intoiny-2y of each term put below next put term below including 0y for Remainder 2 + 2y y the polynomial) subtract missing term added here y 8 y2 This is the remainder -2y + 8 over divisor - 2y - 4 12 Synthetic Division There is a shortcut for long division as long as the divisor is x – k where k is some number.

(x-1) is to the 3rd power so it is repeated 3 times. If we set this equal to zero and solve we get 1. We then say that 1 is a zero of multiplicity 3 (since it showed up as a factor 3 times). What are the other zeros and their multiplicities? -2 is a zero of multiplicity 2 3 is a zero of multiplicity 1 So knowing the zeros of a polynomial we can plot them on the graph. If we know the multiplicity of the zero, it tells us whether the graph crosses the x axis at this point (odd multiplicities CROSS) or whether it just touches the axis and turns and heads back the other way (even multiplicities TOUCH). Let’s try to graph: f x x 1x 2 2 What would the left and right hand behavior be? You don’t need to multiply this out but figure out what the highest power on an x would be if multiplied out. In this case it would be an x3. Notice the negative out in front. What would the y intercept be? Find the zeros and their multiplicity (0, 4) 1 of mult. 1 (so crosses axis at 1) -2 of mult. 2 (so touches at 2) Steps for Graphing a Polynomial •Determine left and right hand behaviour by looking at the highest power on x and the sign of that term. •Determine maximum number of turning points in graph by subtracting 1 from the degree. •Find and plot y intercept by putting 0 in for x •Find the zeros (x intercepts) by setting polynomial = 0 and solving. •Determine multiplicity of zeros. •Join the points together in a smooth curve touching or crossing zeros depending on multiplicity and using left and right hand behavior as a guide.

We did pretty good. If we’d wanted to be more accurate on how low to go before turning we could have plugged in an x value somewhere between the zeros and found the y value. We are not going to be picky about this though since there is a great method in calculus for finding these maxima and minima. What is we thought backwards? Given the zeros and the degree can you come up with a polynomial? Find a polynomial of degree 3 that has zeros –1, 2 and 3. What would the function look like in factored form to have the zeros given above? f x x 1x 2x 3 Multiply this out to get the polynomial. FOIL two of them and then multiply by the third one. f x x 4 x x 6 3 2 4.4 Complex and Rational Zeros of Polynomials Objective: In this lesson, we will: • Learn that imaginary roots always come in pairs and those pairs are conjugates • Find the possible and actual rational zeros of a polynomial function 4.4 Complex and Rational Zeros of Polynomials Using the Rational Root Theorem to Predict the Rational Roots of a Polynomial Find the Roots of a Polynomial For higher degree polynomials, finding the complex roots (real and imaginary) is easier if we know one of the roots.

What other category have we left out? To find the other roots, divide the factor that we know into the original polynomial: x 3 x 3 3x 2 5x 15 Find the Other Roots (con’t) x2 5 3 2 x 3 x 3x 5x 15 The resulting polynomial is a quadratic, but it doesn’t have real factors. Solve the quadratic set equal to zero by either using the quadratic formula, or by isolating the x and taking the square root of both sides. Find the Other Roots (con’t) The solutions to the quadratic equation: x i 5, i 5 3 2 For the polynomial: f (x) x 3x 5x 15 The three complex roots of the polynomial are: x 3, i 5, i 5 4.5 Rational Functions Objective: In this lesson, we will: • Sketch graphs of rational functions • Look more in depth at the vertical & horizontal asymptotes • Find equations of rational functions 4.5 Rational Functions and Their Graphs Example Find the Domain of this Function. x7 f ( x) x3 Solution: The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers not equal to 3. Arrow Notation Symbol Meaning xa x approaches a from the right. xa x x approaches a from the left. x approaches infinity; that is, x increases without bound. x is, x x approaches negative infinity; that decreases without bound. Definition of a Vertical Asymptote The line x a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of a function f if f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches a. f (x) as x a f (x) as x a y y f f x a x=a a x x=a Thus, f (x) or f(x) as x approaches a from either the left or the right.

Locating Vertical Asymptotes If f ( x) p( x) q( x) is a rational function in which p(x) and q(x) have no common factors and a is a zero of q(x), the denominator, then x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. Definition of a Horizontal Asymptote The line y = b is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of a function f if f(x) approaches b as x increases or decreases without bound. y y y y=b y=b f f x f y=b x x f(x) b as x f(x) b as x f (x) b as x Locating Horizontal Asymptotes Let f be the rational function given by an x n an 1 x n1 ... a1 x a0 f (x) , an 0,bm 0 m m 1 bm x bm1 x ... b1 x b0 The degree of the numerator is n.
