2. Polynomial functions of Higher degree Chapter 2.2 You should be able to sketch the graphs of a polynomial function of: Degree 0, a Constant Function Degree 1, a Linear Function Degree 2, a Quadratic Function In this section you will learn how to recognize some of the basic features of graphs of polynomial functions. Using those features, point plotting, intercepts and symmetry you should be able to make reasonably accurate sketches by hand.

3. Polynomial functions of Higher degree Chapter 2.2 Polynomial functions are continuous y x –2 2 y x 2 y x 2 Functions with graphs that are not continuous are not polynomial functions (Piecewise) Graphs of polynomials cannot have sharp turns (Absolute Value) Polynomial functions have graphs with smooth, rounded turns. They are continuous

4. Polynomial functions of Higher degree Chapter 2.2 The polynomial functions that have the simplest graphs are monomials of the form If n is even-the graph is similar to If n is odd-the graph is similar to For n-odd, greater the value of n, the flatter the graph near(0,0) y x –2 2

5. Transformations of Monomial Functions y x –2 2 Example 1: The degree is odd, the negative coefficient reflects the graph on the x-axis, this graph is similar to

6. Transformations of Monomial Functions y x –2 2 Example 2: (Goes through Point (0,1)) The degree is even, and has as upward shift of one unit of the graph of

7. Transformations of Monomial Functions y x –2 2 Example 3: (Goes through points (0,1),(-1,0),(-2,1)) The degree is even, and shifts the graph of one unit to the left.

8. Leading Coefficient Test The graph of a polynomial eventually rises or falls. This can be determined by the functions degree odd or even) and by its leading coefficient y x –2 2 When n is odd: If the leading coefficient is positive The graph falls to the left and rises to the right If the leading coefficient is negative The graph rises to the left and falls to the right

9. Leading Coefficient Test y x –2 2 When n is even: If the leading coefficient is positive The graph rises to the left and rises to the right If the leading coefficient is negative The graph falls to the left and falls to the right

10. Even Odd +-+- Example graphs for each would look like this:

17. Zeros of Polynomial functions For a polynomial function f of degree n 1.The function f has at most n real zeros. 2.The graph of f has at most n-1 relative extrema (relative minima or maxima) For example: Has at most ______ real zeros Has at most ______ relative extrema

18. Finding Zeros of a Polynomial function (This is very similar to finding the x-intercepts) Example: Has at most ______ real zeros Has at most ______ relative extrema Solution: Write the original function Substitute 0 for y Remove common factor Factor Completely So, the real zeros are x=0,x=2, and x=-1 And, the corresponding x-intercepts are: (0,0),(2,0),(-1,0)
