This review covers key concepts of polynomial and rational functions, including identifying zeros, analyzing end behaviors, and understanding symmetry.
Unit 1A – Polynomial and Rational Functions
The end behavior of polynomial functions is determined by their degree.
Polynomials can be classified as even, odd, or neither, based on their symmetry properties.
Polynomial functions can have complex zeros when their solutions involve imaginary numbers. Complex zeros always occur in conjugate pairs if the polynomial has real coefficients. This means if a +
Polynomial functions represent relationships involving powers of the independent variable. The rate of change in polynomial functions can vary significantly depending on the degree and the coefficients of the polynomial.
The rate of change in linear and quadratic functions helps us understand how the output of these functions changes in relation to changes in their input values. Linear functions have
A rate of change is a measure that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity. In the context of functions, it often refers to how the output
A function is a specific type of relation between two sets, typically referred to as the domain (input values) and the range (output values). For each element in the domain,
