Polynomials
• General formula
a0, a1, … ,an are constant coefficients n is the degree of the polynomial Standard form is for descending powers of x anxn is said to be the “leading term”

Polynomial Properties
• Consider what happens when x gets very large negative or positive Called “end behavior” Also “long-run” behavior
• Basically the leading term anxn takes over
• Comparef(x) = x3 with g(x) = x3 + x2
Look at tables Use standard zoom, then zoom out

Polynomial Properties
• Compare tables for low, high values

Polynomial Properties
• Compare graphs ( -10 < x < 10)
For 0 < x < 500the graphs are essentially the same
The leading term x3 takes
over

Zeros of Polynomials
• We seek values of x for which p(x) = 0
• Consider What is the end behavior? What is q(0) = ? How does this tell us that we can expect at least
two roots?

Methods for Finding Zeros
• Graph and ask for x-axis intercepts
• Use solve(y1(x)=0,x)• Use zeros(y1(x))• When complex roots exist, use
cSolve() or cZeros()

Practice
• Giveny = (x + 4)(2x – 3)(5 – x) What is the degree? How many terms does it have? What is the long run behavior?
• f(x) = x3 +x + 1 is invertible (has an inverse) How can you tell? Find f(0.5) and f -1(0.5)
