DEFINITION
Polynomial functions of degree 2 or higher have graphs that are smooth and
continuous.
By smooth, we mean that the graphs contain only rounded curves with no sharp corners.
By continuous, we mean that the graphs have no breaks and can be drawn without lifting your
pencil.

END BEHAVIOR
Odd-degree polynomial functions
have graphs with opposite
behavior at each end.
Even-degree polynomial functions
have graphs with the same
behavior at each end.

ZEROS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
If f is a polynomial function, then the values of x for which f(x) is equal to 0 are
called the zeros of f. These values of x are the roots, or solutions, of the
polynomial equation f(x)=0. Each real root of the polynomial equation appears as
an x-intercept of the graph of the polynomial function.

ZEROS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
Find all zeros of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥3 + 4𝑥2 − 3𝑥 − 12
By definition, the zeros are the values of 𝑥 for which 𝑓 𝑥 = 0. Therefore, we set 𝑓(𝑥) equal to zero and
solve for x, as follows:
𝑥3 + 4𝑥2 − 3𝑥 + 12 = 0
𝑥2 𝑥 + 4 − 3 𝑥 + 4 = 0
𝑥 + 4 𝑥2 − 3 = 0
𝑥 + 4 = 0
𝒙 = −𝟒
𝑥2 − 3 = 0
𝑥2 = 3

MULTIPLICITY OF X-INTERCEPTS
For example, in the function 𝑓 𝑥 = −𝑥2 𝑥 − 3 2, notice that each factor
occurs twice. This means that the function 𝑓(𝑥) has two zeros, at 𝑥 = 0 and
𝑥 = 3, each with a multiplicity of 2.

2 has a multiplicity of 2, and 2 has a multiplicity of 1.
Notice how the graph touches at -2 (even multiplicity),
but crosses at 2 (odd multiplicity).

TURNING POINTS OF POLYNOMIALS
The graph of f(x)=x5- 6x3+8x+1 is shown below. The polynomial is of degree 5. Notice
that the graph has four smooth turning points. In general, if the function is a polynomial
function of degree n, then the graph has at most n-1 turning points.
