It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.” ― Howard Thurman 7-3 Solving Equations Using Quadratic Techniques Turn UP!

3 Comprehensive Graphs intercepts, extrema, end behavior.
The most important features of the graph of a polynomial function are: intercepts, extrema, end behavior. A comprehensive graph of a polynomial function will exhibit the following features: all x-intercepts (if any), the y-intercept, all extreme points (if any), enough of the graph to exhibit end behavior.

4 Solving Using Quadratic Form
Example 1 Write each expression in quadratic form, if possible. Solving Using Quadratic Form Rewrite in standard form. Check if first term can be written as the square of the middle term. If possible, rewrite in quadratic form. Factor, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula. Solve for the variable. Glencoe – Algebra 2 Chapter 7: Polynomial Functions

12 Higher Degree Polynomial Functions and Graphs
an is called the leading coefficient n is the degree of the polynomial a0 is called the constant term Polynomial Function A polynomial function of degree n in the variable x is a function defined by where each ai is real, an  0, and n is a whole number.

13 x-Intercepts (Real Zeros)
Number Of x-Intercepts of a Polynomial Function A polynomial function of degree n will have a maximum of n x- intercepts (real zeros). Find all zeros of f (x) = -x4 + 4x3 - 4x2. -x4 + 4x3 - 4x2 = We now have a polynomial equation. x4 - 4x3 + 4x2 = Multiply both sides by -1. (optional step) x2(x2 - 4x + 4) = Factor out x2. x2(x - 2)2 = Factor completely. x2 = or (x - 2)2 = Set each factor equal to zero. x = x = Solve for x. (0,0) (2,0)

15 Extrema Turning points – where the graph of a function changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa. The number of turning points of the graph of a polynomial function of degree n  1 is at most n – 1. Local maximum point – highest point or “peak” in an interval function values at these points are called local maxima Local minimum point – lowest point or “valley” in an interval function values at these points are called local minima Extrema – plural of extremum, includes all local maxima and local minima

17 Polynomial Function in General Form
Polynomial Functions Polynomial Function in General Form Degree Name of Function 1 Linear 2 Quadratic 3 Cubic 4 Quartic Teachers: This definition for ‘degree’ has been simplified intentionally to help students understand the concept quickly and easily. The largest exponent within the polynomial determines the degree of the polynomial.

18 Maximum Number of Zeros: 0
Polynomial Functions f(x) = 3 ConstantFunction Degree = 0 Maximum Number of Zeros: 0

19 Maximum Number of Zeros: 1
Polynomial Functions f(x) = x + 2 LinearFunction Degree = 1 Maximum Number of Zeros: 1

20 Maximum Number of Zeros: 2
Polynomial Functions f(x) = x2 + 3x + 2 QuadraticFunction Degree = 2 Maximum Number of Zeros: 2

21 Maximum Number of Zeros: 3
Polynomial Functions f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + 2 Cubic Function Degree = 3 Maximum Number of Zeros: 3

22 Maximum Number of Zeros: 4
Polynomial Functions Quartic Function Degree = 4 Maximum Number of Zeros: 4

23 Leading Coefficient The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term in a polynomial when the terms are written in descending order by degrees. For example, the quartic function f(x) = -2x4 + x3 – 5x2 – 10 has a leading coefficient of -2.

24 Leading Coefficient Test for Polynomial End Behavior
degree of polynomial Left Right + even ↑ + odd ↓ - ↑+ - ↓-

25 Example Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the end behavior of the graph of f (x) = x3 + 3x2 - x - 3. Falls left y Rises right x

26 Number of Local Extrema
A linear function has degree 1 and no local extrema. A quadratic function has degree 2 with one extreme point. A cubic function has degree 3 with at most two local extrema. A quartic function has degree 4 with at most three local extrema. How does this relate to the number of turning points?

27 The Leading Coefficient Test
As x increases or decreases without bound, the graph of the polynomial function f (x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + an-2xn-2 +…+ a1x + a0 (an ¹ 0) eventually rises or falls. In particular, For n odd: an > an < 0 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. Rises right Falls left Falls right Rises left

28 The Leading Coefficient Test
As x increases or decreases without bound, the graph of the polynomial function f (x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + an-2xn-2 +…+ a1x + a0 (an ¹ 0) eventually rises or falls. In particular, For n even: an > an < 0 If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises to the left and to the right. If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls to the left and to the right. Rises right Rises left Falls left Falls right

29 Multiplicity and x-Intercepts
If r is a zero of even multiplicity, then the graph touches the x-axis and turns around at r. If r is a zero of odd multiplicity, then the graph crosses the x-axis at r. Regardless of whether a zero is even or odd, graphs tend to flatten out at zeros with multiplicity greater than one.

30 Example Find the x-intercepts and multiplicity of f(x) =2(x+2)2(x-3)
Zeros are at (-2,0) (3,0)
