Warm Up Foil (3x+7)(x-1)
Definition: Factoring Terms are Factorsif, when they are multiplied, they equal that poly
Example Answer: (x-3)(x+5) • (x - 3) and (x + 5) are Factors of the polynomial
Definition: Solutions or Roots • The solutions to a poly are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. • Also called Roots or x-intercepts. • All the same thing! • Solutions = Roots = x-intercepts • Picture…
Graph of a Polynomial Function Here is the graph of our polynomial function: The Zeros of the Polynomial are the values of x when the polynomial equals zero. In other words, the Zeros are the x-values where y equals zero.
Identifying Solutions Example f(x) = x2 - 4 Solutions are -2 and 2.
Identifying Solutions Now you try this problem. f(x) = 2x - x2 Solutions are 0 and 2.
