Polynomial Functions• Functions with…
• Whole number exponents• No radicals around the variable• No variables in the denominator
• The zero function is a polynomial function. It has no degree and no leading coefficient.
• Polynomial functions are defined and continuous on all real numbers.
Polynomial Functions• If you determine a function to be a polynomial, you can
determine the degree of the function and the leading coefficient.
Which of the following are polynomial functions?If they are, state the degree and leading coefficient.
𝑓 (𝑥 )=4 𝑥2−5 𝑥− 12
𝑔 (𝑥 )=6 𝑥− 4+7
h (𝑥 )=√9 𝑥4+16 𝑥2

Linear Function
• A linear function is a polynomial function of degree 1.• ________________ are not graphs of functions because
they fail the vertical line test. • ________________ are graphs of constant functions.• A line is the graph of a _______________ if and only if it
is a slant line.
Average Rate of Change• If a function is between x=a and x=b, where a≠b, then the
rate of change can be found by .
Camelot Apartments bought a $50,000 building and for tax purposes are depreciating it $2000 per year over a 25-yr period using straight-line depreciation.
What is the rate of change of the value of the building?
Write an expression for the value v(t) of the building as a linear function of the time t since the building was placed in service.
Evaluate v(0) and v(16).
Solve v(t) = 39,000
Linear Correlation and Modeling
R is the correlation coefficient.
Use the data in the table to write a linear model for demand (in the boxes sold per week) as a function of the price per box (in dollars).

Application of Quadratics• Julie Stone designed a rectangular patio that is 25 ft by 40
ft. This patio is surrounded by a terraced strip of uniform with small trees and shrubs. If the are A of this terraced strip is 504 square feet, find the width x of the strip.
Application of Quadratics• The per unit price p (in dollars) of a popular toy when x
units (in thousands) are produced is modeled by the function .
• • The revenue (in thousands of dollars) is the product of the
price per unit and the number of units (in thousands) produced. That is,
• How many units should be produced if the total revenue is to be $1,000,000?
Vertical Free Fall of Motion• The height s and vertical velocity v of an object in free fall
are given by
Where t is time (in seconds), is the acceleration due to gravity, is the initial vertical velocity of the object, and is its initial height.
Vertical Free Fall Application• As a promotion for the Houston Astros downtown ballpark,
a competition is held to see who can throw a baseball the highest from the front row of the upper deck of seats, 83 ft above field level. The winner throws the ball with an initial vertical velocity of 92 ft/sect and it lands on the infield grass.
a) Find the maximum height of the baseball.
b) How much time is the ball in the air?
c) Determine its vertical velocity when it hits the ground.
