Polynomial Functions of Higher Degree Day #1

Polynomial Functions All polynomial Functions : 1. Are continuous - no holes no breaks 2. Have smooth rounded curves - no points or sharp angles 3. Have degrees that are odd, even or neither 4. Have left and right end behavior

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Every polynomial equation over the field of complex numbers of degree higher than one has a complex solution.

Every polynomial of degree

has at least one root.

Number of Zeroes If p is a polynomial with degree

then p has exactly n zeroes (real or complex), where zeroes of multiplicity are counted m times.

Zeroes of Multiplicity If p is a polynomial with degree

and (x-c) occurs as a factor of p exactly m times, then c is a zero of multiplicity m.

Translation:

Irreducible Quadratic Factors If p is a polynomial with real coefficients, p can be factored into a product of linear factors (which are not necessarily distinct) and irreducible quadratic factors having real coefficients.
