Key Concept 2

x 3 + 5x 2 + 4x = 0 Set f (x) equal to 0. Zeros of a Polynomial Function State the number of possible real zeros and turning points of f (x) = x 3 + 5x 2 + 4x. Then determine all of the real zeros by factoring. The degree of the function is 3, so f has at most 3 distinct real zeros and at most 3 – 1 or 2 turning points. To find the real zeros, solve the related equation f (x) = 0 by factoring. x 3 + 5x 2 + 4x = 0 Set f (x) equal to 0. x(x 2 + 5x + 4) = 0 Factor the greatest common factor, x. x(x + 4)(x + 1) = 0 Factor completely. Example 3

Zeros of a Polynomial Function Answer: The degree is 3, so f has at most 3 distinct real zeros and at most 2 turning points. f (x) = x 3 + 5x 2 + 4x = x (x + 1)(x + 4), so f has three zeros, x = 0, x = –1, and x = –4. Example 3

Zeros of a Polynomial Function So, f has three distinct real zeros, x = 0, x = –4, and x = –1. This is consistent with a cubic function having at most 3 distinct real zeros. CHECK You can use a graphing calculator to graph f (x) = x 3 + 5x 2 + 4x and confirm these zeros. Additionally, you can see that the graph has 2 turning points, which is consistent with cubic functions having at most 2 turning points. Example 3

POWER & RADICAL FUNCTIONS Quadratic Form “U-Substitution”

Key Concept 3

(x2)2 – 4(x2) + 3 = 0 Set h(x) equal to 0. Zeros of a Polynomial Function in Quadratic Form State the number of possible real zeros and turning points for h (x) = x 4 – 4x 2 + 3. Then determine all of the real zeros by factoring. The degree of the function is 4, so h has at most 4 distinct real zeros and at most 4 – 1 or 3 turning points. This function is in quadratic form because x 4 – 4x 2 + 3 = (x 2)2 – 4(x 2) + 3. Let u = x 2. (x2)2 – 4(x2) + 3 = 0 Set h(x) equal to 0. u2 – 4u + 3 = 0 Substitute u for x2. (u – 3)(u – 1) = 0 Factor the quadratic expression. Example 4

(x 2 – 3)(x 2 – 1) = 0 Substitute x 2 for u. Zeros of a Polynomial Function in Quadratic Form (x 2 – 3)(x 2 – 1) = 0 Substitute x 2 for u. Factor completely. Zero Product Property or x + 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0 , x = –1, x = 1 Solve for x. h has four distinct real zeros, , –1, and 1. This is consistent with a quartic function. The graph of h (x) = x 4 – 4x 2 + 3 confirms this. Notice that there are 3 turning points, which is also consistent with a quartic function. Example 4

Zeros of a Polynomial Function in Quadratic Form Answer: The degree is 4, so h has at most 4 distinct real zeros and at most 3 turning points. h (x) = x 4 – 4x 2 + 3 = (x 2 – 3)(x – 1)(x + 1), so h has four distinct real zeros, x = , x = –1, and x = 1. Example 4

A. 3 possible real zeros, 2 turning points; real zeros 0, –1, 6 State the number of possible real zeros and turning points of g (x) = x 5 – 5x 3 – 6x. Then determine all of the real zeros by factoring. A. 3 possible real zeros, 2 turning points; real zeros 0, –1, 6 B. 5 possible real zeros, 4 turning points; real zeros 0, C. 3 possible real zeros, 3 turning points; real zeros 0, –1, . D. 5 possible real zeros, 4 turning points; real zeros 0, 1, –1, Example 4

Key Concept 4

x 4 + 5x 3 + 6x 2 = 0 Set h(x) equal to 0. Polynomial Function with Repeated Zeros State the number of possible real zeros and turning points of h (x) = x 4 + 5x 3 + 6x 2. Then determine all of the real zeros by factoring. The degree of the function is 4, so it has at most 4 distinct real zeros and at most 4 – 1 or 3 turning points. Find the real zeros. x 4 + 5x 3 + 6x 2 = 0 Set h(x) equal to 0. x 2(x 2 + 5x + 6) = 0 Factor the greatest common factor, x 2. x 2(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 Factor completely. Example 5

Polynomial Function with Repeated Zeros The expression above has 4 factors, but solving for x yields only 3 distinct real zeros, x = 0, x = –3, and x = –2. Of the zeros, x = 0 is repeated. The graph of h (x) = x 4 + 5x 3 + 6x 2 shown here confirms these zeros and shows that h has three turning points. Notice that at x = –3 and x = –2, the graph crosses the x-axis, but at x = 0, the graph is tangent to the x-axis. Example 5

Polynomial Function with Repeated Zeros Answer: The degree is 4, so h has at most 4 distinct real zeros and at most 3 turning points. h (x) = x 4 + 5x 3 + 6x 2 = x 2(x + 2)(x + 3), so h has three zeros, x = 0, x = –2, and x = –3. Of the zeros, x = 0 is repeated. Example 5

A. 4 possible real zeros, 3 turning points; real zeros 0, 2 State the number of possible real zeros and turning points of g (x) = x 4 – 4x 3 + 4x 2. Then determine all of the real zeros by factoring.

The product x(3x + 1)(x – 2)2 has a leading term of x(3x)(x)2 or 3x4, so f has degree 4 and leading coefficient 3. Because the degree is even and the leading coefficient is positive, .

The end behavior of the function tells you that the graph eventually rises to the left and to the right. You also know that the graph crosses the x-axis at nonrepeated zeros x = and x = 0, but does not cross the x-axis at repeated zero x = 2, because its multiplicity is even. Draw a continuous curve through the points as shown in the figure. Example 6

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions A. POPULATION The table to the right shows a town’s population over an 8-year period. Year 1 refers to the year 2001, year 2 refers to the year 2002, and so on. Create a scatter plot of the data, and determine the type of polynomial function that could be used to represent the data. Example 7

Answer: cubic function; Model Data Using Polynomial Functions Enter the data using the list feature of a graphing calculator. Let L1 be the number of the year. Then create a scatter plot of the data. The curve of the scatter plot resembles the graph of a cubic equation, so we will use a cubic regression. Answer: cubic function; Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions B. POPULATION The table below shows a town’s population over an 8-year period. Year 1 refers to the year 2001, year 2 refers to the year 2002, and so on. Write a polynomial function to model the data set. Round each coefficient to the nearest thousandth, and state the correlation coefficient. Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions Using the CubicReg tool on a graphing calculator and rounding each coefficient to the nearest thousandth yields f (x) = 10.020x 3 – 176.320x 2 + 807.469x + 4454.786. The value of r 2 for the data is 0.89, which is close to 1, so the model is a good fit. We can graph the complete (unrounded) regression by sending it to the Y= menu. In the Y= menu, pick up this regression equation by entering VARS , Statistics, EQ. Graph this function and the scatter plot in the same viewing window. The function appears to fit the data reasonably well. Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions Answer: f (x) = 10.020x 3 – 176.320x 2 + 807.469x + 4454.786; r 2 = 0.89 Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions C. POPULATION The table below shows a town’s population over an 8-year period. Year 1 refers to the year 2001, year 2 refers to the year 2002, and so on. Use the model to estimate the population of the town in the year 2012. Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions Use 12 for the year 2012 and use the CALC feature on a calculator to find f (12). The value of f (12) is 6069.1926, so the population in 2012 will be about 6069. Answer: 6069 Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions D. POPULATION The table below shows a town’s population over an 8-year period. Year 1 refers to the year 2001, year 2 refers to the year 2002, and so on. Use the model to determine the approximate year in which the population reaches 10,712. Example 7

Model Data Using Polynomial Functions Graph the line y = 10,712 for Y2. Then use 5: intersect on the CALC menu to find the point of intersection of y = 10,712 with f (x). The intersection occurs when x ≈ 15, so the approximate year in which the population will be 10,712 is 2015. Answer: 2015 Example 7
