Goals and Objectives· Students will be able to combine polynomial

functions using operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

A monomial is an expression that is a number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables with whole number exponents.

A polynomial is the sum of one or more monomials, each of which is a term of the polynomial.

Put a circle around each term:

Vocabulary Review

Polynomials can be classified by the number of terms. The table below summarizes these classifications.

Identify the degree of each polynomial:

Polynomials can also be classified by degree. The table below summarizes these classifications.

A polynomial function is a function in the form

where n is a nonnegative integer and the coefficients

are real numbers.

The coefficient of the first term, an, is the leading coefficient.

A polynomial function is in standard form when the terms are in order of degree from highest to lowest.

For extra practice, make up a few of your own!

To add or subtract polynomials, simply distribute the + or - sign to each term in parentheses, and then combine the like terms from each polynomial.

Examples:

(2a2 +3a - 9) + (a2 - 6a +3)

(2a2 +3a - 9) - (a2 - 6a +3)

Watch your signs...forgetting to distribute the minus sign is one of the most common mistakes students make !!

Square of a Sum (a + b)2 = (a + b)(a + b) = a2 + 2ab + b2

The square of a + b is the square of a plus twice the product of a and b plus the square of b.

Example:

Square of a Difference (a - b)2 = (a - b)(a - b) = a2 - 2ab + b2

The square of a - b is the square of a minus twice the product of a and b plus the square of b.

Example:

Product of a Sum and a Difference (a + b)(a - b) = a2 + -ab + ab + -b2 = Notice the sum of -ab and ab a2 - b2 equals 0.

A-APRTrina's Triangles

Alice and her friend Trina were having a conversation. Trina said "Pick any 2 integers. Find the sum of their squares, the difference of their squares and twice the product of the integers. These 3 numbers are the sides of a right triangle."

Trina had tried this with several examples and it worked every time, but she wasn't sure this "trick" would always work.

a. Investigate Trina's conjecture for several pairs of integers. Does it work?

b. If it works, then give a precise statement of the conjecture, using variables to represent the chosen integers, and prove it. If not true, modify it so that it is true, and prove the new statement.

c. Use Trina's trick to find an example of a right triangle in which all of the sides have integer length. all 3 sides are longer than 100 units, and the 3 side lengths do not have any common factors.

Factoring Polynomials ReviewThe process of factoring involves breaking a product down into its factors. Here is a summary of factoring strategies:

Berry Method to factor

Step 1: Calculate ac.

Step 2: Find a pair of numbers m and n, whose product is ac, and whose sum is b.

Step 3: Create the product .

Step 4: From each binomial in step 3, factor out and discard any common factor. The result is your factored form.

Example:

Step 1: ac = -15 and b = -2

Step 2: find m and n whose product is -15 and sum is -2; so m = -5 and n = 3

Step 3: (ax + m)(ax + n) = (3x - 5)(3x + 3)

Step 4: (3x + 3) = 3(x + 1) so discard the 3

Therefore, 3x2 - 2x - 5 = (3x - 5)(x + 1)

Goals and Objectives

· Students will be able to sketch the graphs of polynomial functions, find the zeros, and become familiar with the shapes and characteristics of their graphs.

Why We Need This

Polynomial functions are used to model a wide variety of real world phenomena. Finding the roots or zeros of a polynomial is one of algebra's most important problems, setting the stage for future math and science study.

Graphs of Polynomial FunctionsFeatures:· Continuous curve (or straight line)· Turns are rounded, not sharp

Which are polynomials?

The degree of a polynomial function and the coefficient of the first term affect:

· the shape of the graph,

· the number of turning points (points where the graph changes direction),

· the end behavior, or direction of the graph as x approaches positive and negative infinity.

If you have Geogebra on your computer, click below to go to an interactive webpage where you can explore graphs of polynomials.

The Shape of a Polynomial Function

Optional Spreadsheet Activity

See the spreadsheet activity on the unit page for this unit entitled "Exploration of the values of the terms of a polynomial".

Explore the impact of each term by changing values of the coefficients in row 1.

Take a look at the graphs below. These are some of the simplest polynomial functions, y = xn. Notice that when n is even, the graphs are similar. What do you notice about these graphs?

What would you predict the graph of y = x10 to look like?

For discussion: despite appearances, how many points sit on the x-axis?

Zeros of a Polynomial"Zeros" are the points at which the polynomial intersects the x-axis. They are called "zeros" because at each point f(x) = 0. Another name for a zero is a root.

A polynomial function of degree n has at MOST n real zeros.

An odd degree polynomial must have at least one real zero. (WHY?) Zeros

A polynomial function of degree n has at MOST n - 1 turning points, also called relative maxima and relative minima. These are points where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or from decreasing to increasing.

A polynomial function can be sketched by creating a table, plotting the points, and then connecting the points with a smooth curve.

Look at the first term to determine the end behavior of the graph. In this case, the coefficient is negative and the degree is odd, so the

function rises to the left and falls to the right.

How many zeros does this function appear to have?

x y-3 58

There is a zero at x = -1, a second between x = 1 and x = 2, and a third between x = 3 and x = 4. How can we recognize zeros given only a table?

Intermediate Value TheoremGiven a continuous function f(x), every value between f(a) and f(b) exists.

Let a = 2 and b = 4,then f(a)= -2 and f(b)= 4.

For every x-value between 2 and 4 there exists a y-value, so there must be an x-value for which y = 0.

x y-3 58

The Intermediate Value Theorem justifies the statement that there is a zero between x = 1 and x = 2 and that there is another between x = 3 and x = 4.

Relative Maxima and Relative MinimaThere are 2 relative maximum points at x = -1 and at x = 1. The relative maximum value appears to be -1 (the y-coordinate).

There is a relative minimum at (0, -2).

How do we recognize the relative maxima and minima from a table?

x f(x)-3 5

In the table, as x goes from -3 to 1, f(x) is decreasing. As x goes from 1 to 3, f(x) is increasing. And as x goes from 3 to 4, f(x)is decreasing.

The relative maxima and minima occur when the direction changes from decreasing to increasing, or from increasing to decreasing.

The y-coordinate indicates this change in direction as its value rises or falls.

Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions

For a function f(x) and a real number a, if f (a) = 0, the following statements are equivalent:

x = a is a zero of the function f(x).

x = a is a solution of the equation f (x) = 0.

(x - a) is a factor of the function f(x).

(a, 0) is an x-intercept of the graph of f(x).

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

An imaginary zero occurs when the solution to f (x) = 0 contains complex numbers. Imaginary zeros are not seen on the graph.

If f (x) is a polynomial of degree n, where n > 0, then f (x) = 0 has n zeros including multiples and imaginary zeros.

Complex NumbersComplex numbers will be studied in detail in the Radicals Unit. But in order to fully understand polynomial functions, we need to know a little bit about complex numbers.

Up until now, we have learned that there is no real number, x, such that x2 = -1. However, there is such a number, known as the imaginary unit, i, which satisfies this equation and is defined as .

The set of complex numbers is the set of numbers of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.

When a = 0, bi is called a pure imaginary number.

The square root of any negative number is a complex number.

For example, find a solution for x2 = -9:

The number of the zeros of a polynomial, both real and imaginary, is equal to the degree of the polynomial.

This is the graph of a polynomial with degree 4. It has four unique zeros: -2.25, -.75, .75, 2.25

Since there are 4 real zeros,there are no imaginary zeros.(4 in total - 4 real = 0 imaginary)

This 5th degree polynomial has 5 zeros, but only 3 of them are real. Therefore, there must be two imaginary.

(How do we know that this is a 5th degree polynomial?)

Note: imaginary roots always come in pairs: if a + bi is a root, then a - bi is also a root. (These are called conjugates - more on that in later units.)

This is a 4th-degree polynomial. It has two unique real zeros: -2 and 2. These two zeros are said to have a multiplicity of two, which means they each occur twice.

There are 4 real zeros and therefore no imaginary zeros for this function.

2 zeros each

A vertex on the x-axis indicates a multiple zero, meaning the zero occurs two or more times.

What do you think are the zeros and their multiplicity for this function?

Notice the function for this graph.

x - 1 is a factor two times, and x = 1 is a zero twice.

x + 2 is a factor two times, and x = -2 is a zero twice.

Therefore, 1 and -2 are zeros with multiplicity of 2.

x + 3 is a factor once, and x = 3 is a zero with multiplicity of 1.

84 Do any of the zeros have a multiplicity of 2?

However, this polynomial cannot be factored using normal methods. What do you do when you are STUCK??

We are going to need to do some long division, but by what do we divide?

The Remainder Theorem told us that for a function, f (x), if we divide f (x) by x - a, then the remainder is f (a). If the remainder is 0, then x - a if a factor of f (x).

In other words, if f (a) = 0, then x - a is a factor of f (x).

So how do we figure out what a should be????

We could use guess and check, but how can we narrow down the choices?

The Rational Zeros Theorem:Let

with integer coefficients. There is a limited number of possible roots or zeros.

· Integer zeros must be factors of the constant term, a0.

· Rational zeros can be found by writing and simplifying fractions where the numerator is an integer factor of a0 and the denominator is an integer fraction of an.

Write a polynomial equation to represent this problem.

Use a graphing utility or graphing calculator to find the numbers.

Hint: set your equation equal to zero, and then enter this equation into the calculator.

How could you use a calculator and guess and check to find the answer to this problem?

An open box is to be made from a square piece of cardboard that measures 50 inches on a side by cutting congruent squares of side-length x from each corner and folding the sides.

1. Write the equation of a polynomial function to represent the volume of the completed box.

2. Use a graphing calculator or graphing utility to create a table of values for the height of the box. (Consider what the domain of x would be.) Use the table to determine what height will yield the maximum volume.

3. Look at the graph and calculate the maximum volume within the defined domain. Does this answer match your answer above? (Use the table values to determine how to set the viewing window.)

An engineer came up with the following equation to represent the height, h(x), of a roller coaster during the first 300 yards of the ride: h(x) = -3x4 + 21x3 - 48x2 + 36x, where x represents the horizontal distance of the roller coaster from its starting place, measured in 100's of yards. Using a graphing calculator or a graphing utility, graph the function on the interval 0 < x < 3. Sketch the graph below.

Does this roller coaster look like it would be fun? Why or why not?

Derived from( (

For what values of x is the roller coaster 0 yards off the ground? What do these values represent in terms of distance from the beginning of the ride?

Verify your answers above by factoring the polynomial

h(x) = -3x4 + 21x3 - 48x2 + 36x

How do you think the engineer came up with this model?

Why did we restrict the domain of the polynomial to the interval from 0 to 3?

In the real world, what is wrong with this model at a distance of 0 yards and at 300 yards?

Increasing and Decreasing

Given a function f whose domain and range are subsets of the real numbers and I is an interval contained within the domain, the function is called increasing on the interval if f (x1) < f (x2) whenever x1 < x2 in I.

It is called decreasing on the interval if f (x1) > f (x2) whenever x1 < x2 in I.

Restate this in your own words:

Mark on this graph and state using inequality notation the intervals that are increasing and those that are decreasing.
