Polynomial Terms • Polynomial – A monomial or sum of monomials. • Polynomial Function – A function in the form of: • + • Where • n = degree
Polynomial Terms • Standard Form of a Polynomial – a polynomial whose terms are written in descending order. • Degree of a Polynomial- the highest exponent in any term of a polynomial
Steps to Using the ti 84 calculator • We have talked in the past about modeling data with lines and parabolas. Sometimes a polynomial of degree 3 or higher fit the data better. A graphing calculator can be used to find these equations. 1. Enter data in Lists (STAT enter) STAT → CALC ↓ 4: LinReg (ax + b) 5. QuadReg 6. CubicReg (You could also turn on STAT PLOT to view the points!)
End Behavior of a Graph x → ∞ f(x) → ∞ x → ∞ f(x) → ∞ x → -∞ f(x) → -∞ Odd x → -∞ f(x) → ∞ Even Even x → -∞ f(x) → ∞ Odd x → -∞ f(x) → -∞ x → ∞ f(x) → -∞ x → -∞ f(x) → -∞ Identify its end behavior:
End Behavior of a Graph 1. 2. Even Odd 4. 3. Odd Even Its end behavior identifies whether a polynomial is an even or odd function.

Add and subtract polynomials • To add or subtract polynomials, write in descending order, then combine like terms. You can add or subtract horizontally or vertically.

Special product patterns (page 347) • Sum and Difference • (a + b)(a – b) = Square of binomial • = a2 + 2ab + b2 • = a2– 2ab + b2 Cube of a binomial • 3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 • 3– 3a2b + 3ab2– b3
