Now Sort the graphs Into Groups based on their shapes and Answer the following questions: 1. How are the linear graphs alike? 2. How are the quadratic graphs alike?
3. How are the remaining graphs alike? 4. Compare the number of x-intercepts of each graph and the greatest exponent found in its equation. What is the relationship?
Polynomial A Monomial (one term) or the sum of Monomials.
The exponent of the variable gives you the degreeof that term. Standard Form: highest degree to low Degree of polynomial is the largest de- gree of any term
Ex 1: Write each polynomial in standard form Then classify it by degree and # of terms
