Warm Up: Solve & Sketch the graph:. Graphing Polynomials & Finding a Polynomial Function. Equivalent Statements:. x = a is a zero of the function f. x = a is a solution of the polynomial equation f(x)=0. (x-a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x) (a, 0) is an x-intercept of the graph of f.
E N D
Equivalent Statements: • x = a is a zero of the function f. • x = a is a solution of the polynomial equation f(x)=0. • (x-a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x) • (a, 0) is an x-intercept of the graph of f
Sketch the graph: End behavior: Multiplicity of 2. Touches. Through these Points.
Multiplicity - repeated zero – Means………….. • If it occurs an odd number of times, the graph crosses the x-axis at the zero. • If it occurs an even number of times, the graph will just touch the x-axis at the zero.
Sketch the graph: 1st Term would be End Behavior: Mult. of 3 Goes Through Mult. Of 2 Touches x y 1 3
Sketch the graph: 1st Term would be End Behavior: Both have a multiplicity of 2. Just Touch! x y -1 -1
Find a Polynomial function that has the given zeros: 0, 3, -5
Find a Polynomial function that has the given zeros: 3, 2, -2, -1
Use Long Division and use the result to factor the polynomial completely. 1st Step:
Divide using long division: Remainder
