Roots of Polynomials
a quadratic polynomial: a cubic polynomial:
a quintic polynomial:
Polynomial equation in factored form: y = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 2)
Example: Write it in standard form: y = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 2)
Factoring ReviewFactoring Out a Monomial: Undistributing Special Pattern: Ex: Ex:

Hint:Multiply
things at a time.
Polynomial equation in standard form: y = 2x3 + 10x2 +12xExample: Write it in factored form:
Check it by multiplying:
Example: Write it in factored form: y = 3x3 - 3x2 -36x
Algebra 2: Polynomials 2
Hint:Sometimes you will have to use more than one factoring technique.
Example: Write it in factored form: y = 75x3 - 20x
Zeros/Roots/x-intercepts/solutions
y = x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6 = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 2)
(x + 3), (x + 1), & (x - 2) are factors of x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6.
-3, -1, 2 are solutions of x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6 = 0. Plugging each of these numbers in for x makes equation true.
-3, -1, 2 are x-intercepts of the graph of y = x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6. When x = -3, x = -1, or x = 2, the graph is on the x-axis.
-3, -1, 2 are zeros of h(x) = x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6. When the graph is on the x-axis, the y-value - or function value - equals zero.
-3, -1, 2 are roots of h(x) = x3 + 2x2 - 5x - 6.
To find all of these: set y = ______ and ________________.
Examples: Find the zeros of the functions.f(x)=(x-3)(x+4)(x-1)

Some graphing calculator instructions:
To enter an equation: Press the button to get to the screen to the top rightUse the button for the variable x.Use the parenthesis buttons for parenthesis.Use the ^ button for exponents.
To see the graph:Press the GRAPH button to get to the third screen shown.
To adjust the window:If the window on your graph does not count 10 in each direction, you can reset the window by pressing the ZOOM button and choosing option 6:ZStandard.
To see the table:Press the 2ND button then GRAPH. (See TABLE written above the graph button.)You should be able to scroll up and down with the arrow buttons to see different x-values and the y-values that go with them. It should look something like the third screen shot. If it does not, you will have to reset the table.
To reset the table:Press the 2ND button then WINDOW. (See TBLSET above the window button.)Change the settings to match the bottom screen shot. To highlight a word, use the arrow and ENTER buttons.
Some ANY calculator instructions:
To evaluate an equation for a given x-value:You can “plug in” an x-value to the standard OR factored form. Both should give you the same result.
Ex: To plug in x=-6 to the last example using the standard form. To avoid making errors with a negative, use parenthesis.
Ex: To plug in x=-6 to the last example using the factored form.

Classifying Polynomials
Degree (biggest exponent on variable):
Leading term (term with highest degree):
Leading coefficient (coefficient of leading term):
More vocab: see chart p301 in text.
Examples: Write the polynomial in standard form.Then classify it by degree and by number of terms.
The greatest value (y-value) of the points in a region of a graph is called a __________________. (Think of the top of a hill.)
The least value (y-value) of the points in a region of a graph is called a __________________. (Think of the bottom of a valley.)
Multiplicity of a Zero
A repeated zero is called a __________________. A multiple zero has a ____________________ equal to the number of times the zero occurs.
Example: Find the zeros of the function. State the multiplicity of multiple zeros.
Algebra 2: Polynomials 6
Examples:Write a polynomial function in standard form with zeros at -2 and 3 (multiplicity 2).
Write a polynomial function in standard form with zeros at -4, -2, and 0 (multiplicity 3).
