Operations with Functions You really already know how to do this. Recall, Combining Like Terms. Ex. 4x4- 5x2 + 6 – 7x4+ 10x2 -13. You would combine: 4x4 -7x4 - 5x2 + 10x2 + 6 -13 = -3x4 + 5x2 - 7
Graphic Organizer-Function Notation Fill in the following table.
Warm-up: Function Notation Given f(x) = 2x2 – 8 , g(x) = x2 + 5x + 6, and h(x) = 2x + 4, find each function and define the domain. 1. (f + g)(x) 2. (f – g)(x) 3. (g + h)(x) 4. (g – h)(x) 5. f(x) + h(x) 6. (fh)(x) 7. 8.
1-4: Polynomials Definitions A monomial is a number, a variable, or a product of both A polynomial is a monomial or a sum or difference of monomials. Each monomial in a polynomial is a term. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables. The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of all of the terms of the polynomial. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. A polynomial function is a function whose rule is a polynomial. Identifying Polynomials:

Turn in the following problems: • Business The manager of a gift-basket business will ship the • baskets anywhere in the country. The cost to mail a basket • based on its weight, x, in pounds is given by • C(x) = 0.03x 3 – 0.75x2 + 4.5x + 7. • a. What is the cost of shipping a 7-pound gift basket? • b.What is the cost of shipping a 19-pound gift basket? • 2. Reasoning The total number of lights in a triangular lighting rig • is related to the triangular numbers, as shown below. The nth • triangular number is given by . • a.Write a polynomial function that represents the (n + 1)th • triangular number, T(n + 1). • b.The difference between two consecutive triangular numbers is • T(n + 1) – T(n). Subtract these two polynomial functions and state a • conclusion about the difference between consecutive triangular numbers.
