1 Chapter Polynomial and Rational Functions - Polynomial Functions Pages 09 0 Check for Understanding. A zero is the value of the variable for which a polynomial function in one variable equals zero. A root is a solution of a polynomial equation in one variable. When a polynomial function is the related function to the polynomial equation, the zeros of the function are the same as the roots of the equation.. The ordered pair (, 0) represents the points on the -ais. Therefore, the -intercept of a graph of a function represents the point where f() Acomple number is any number in the form a bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit. In a pure imaginary number, a 0 and b 0. Eamples: i, 3i; Noneamples: 5, i. y 5. 3; 6. 5; 8 7. no; f() f(5) (5) 3 5(5) 3(5) 8 f(5) f(5) yes; f() f(6) (6) 3 5(6) 3(6) 8 f(6) f(6) 0 9.

These two small cars represent the 70 additional cars that were sold in 999 compared to 000. Since the two small cars represent 70 real cars, each small car symbol must represent 7 0 or 35 real cars. The correct choice is A. - Quadratic Equations Pages 8 9 Check for Understanding. Add to each side of the equation to get t 6t. Determine the value needed to make t 6t a perfect square trinomial. Add this value (9) to each side. Take the square root of each side of the equation and solve the two resulting equations. t 3 3. Quadratic Formula; Since the leading coefficient does not equal and the discriminant equals 85 which is not a perfect square, the Quadratic Formula would be the best way to get an eact answer. Completing the square can also be used, but errors in arithmetic are more likely.

The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial P() is divided by r, the remainder is P(r). If a division problem has a remainder of 0, then the divisor is a factor of the dividend. This leads to the Factor Theorem which states that the binomial r is a factor if and only if P(r) 0.. ( 3 7 8) ( 5); ; 3.

Therefore, p q becomes p or p, and p is defined as a factor of a n. 3. Sample answer: f() 3 3; f() () 3 () () 3 f() 3 3; 0 3 or possible positive zeros and no possible negative zeros. Sample answer: You can factor the polynomial, graph the function, complete the square, or use the Quadratic Formula if it is a second-degree function, or use the Factor Theorem and the Rational Root Theorem. I would factor the polynomial if it can be factored easily. If not and it is a second-degree function, I would use the Quadratic Formula. therwise, I would graph the function on a graphing utility and use the Rational Root Theorem to find the eact zeros. 5. p q, rational root r Chapter

Use synthetic division to find the values of the polynomial function for consecutive integers. When the values of the function change from positive to negative or from negative to positive, there is a zero between the integers. 3. Use synthetic division to find the values of the polynomial function for consecutive integers. An integer that produces no sign change in the quotient and the remainder is an upper bound.

A of JKL (9)(7) or 3.5 C() A of small triangle (5)(3) or 7.5 A of shaded region or The answer is Radical Equations and Inequalities Pages 5 55 Check for Understanding. To solve the equation, you need to get rid of the radical by squaring both sides of the equation. If the radical is not isolated first, a radical will remain in the equation.. The process of raising to a power sometimes creates a new equation with more solutions than the original equation. These etra or etraneous solutions do not solve the original equation. 3. When solving an equation with one radical, you isolate the radical on one side and then square each side. When there is more than one radical epression in an equation, you isolate one of the radicals and then square each side. Then you isolate the other radical and square each side. In both cases, once you have eliminated all radical signs, you solve for the variable.. t t t 3 t Check: Check: no real solution Check: Check: t a a 3 7 a 7 a 3 a 9 a 3 a 3 a (a 3) 9 a 3 a Check: a a Chapter

You can pick an infinite number of other points with different - coordinates. You could find polynomial functions that went through the original n points and any number of the other points. 5. There is no problem with using L 0 with list L for the eample. However, if you are using a different list which happens to have 0 as one of its elements, using L 0 will result in an error message, since 0 0 is undefined.

35 Chapter SAT & ACT Preparation Page 73 SAT and ACT Practice. There are two ways to solve this problem. You can use the distance formula or you can sketch a graph. d ( ) (y y ) ( ) ( ()) ( or 5 y (, ) 3 (, 3) When you sketch the points and draw a right triangle as shown above, you can see that this is a 3--5 right triangle. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can calculate that the length of the hypotenuse is The correct choice is C.. Points on the graph of f() are of the form (, f()). To move the entire graph of f() up units, must be added to each of the second coordinates. Points on the translated graph are of the form (, f() ). The function which represents the translation of the graph up units is f(). The correct choice is E. 3. You need to find both the - and y-coordinates of point C. Use the properties of a parallelogram. First find the y-coordinate. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and side AD is on the -ais, point C must have the same y-coordinate as point B. So the y-coordinate is b. This means you can eliminate answer choices A and B Now find the -coordinate. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram have equal length and side AD has length d, side BC must also have length d. Point B is a units from the y-ais, so point C must be a d units from the y-ais. The -coordinate of point C is a d. So point C has coordinates (a d, b). The correct choice is E..You may want to draw a diagram. s s 6 Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, where represents the length and w represents the width. w P Replace w with s. Replace with s 6. (s 6) s 60 The correct choice is E. 5. First find the slope of the given line. Write the equation in the form y m b. 3 6y 6y 3 y The slope is. So the slope of the line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of this slope. The slope of the perpendicular line is. The correct choice is A. 6. Be sure to notice the small piece of given information: is an integer. You need to find the number, written in scientific notation, that could be 3. This means that the cube root of the number is an integer. Take the cube root of each of the answer choices and see which one is an integer. You can use your calculator or do the calculations by hand. Notice that.7 is one-tenth of 7, which is or 30, ,000 is an integer. When you try the same calculation with each of the other answer choices, the resulting power of 0 has a fractional eponent. So the number cannot be an integer. The correct choice is C. 7. This is a system of equations, but you do not need to solve for or y. You need to find the value of 6 6y. Notice that the first equation contains 5y and the second contains y. If you subtract the second from the first, you have 6y. Similarly, subtraction of the values gives a result of 6. Use the same strategy that you would for solving a system. Subtract the second equation from the first. 0 5y 5y 6 6y The correct choice is C. 35 Chapter

36 8. You can solve this problem using the midpoint formula or by sketching a graph. The midpoint formula: y () 3, 8,, y 3 y ( ) (, 3), (3, 5), 5 The correct choice is B. 9. The epression a a is a perfect square trinomial and can be factored as ( a). The square of a real quantity is never negative. The correct choice is A. ( a a a ( a ) a So the quantity in Column A equals the quantity in Column B plus the sum of the squares of and a. Since neither nor a equal 0, their squares must be greater than 0. So the quantity in Column A is always greater than the quantity in Column B. The correct choice is A. 0. Since the problem does not include a figure, draw one. Label the four points. 3 8 E F G H ne method of solving this problem is to plug-in numbers for the segment lengths. Since EG 5 3 EF, let EF 3. Then EG 5. This means that FG must equal, since EF FG EG. HF 5FG 5() 0 HG HF FG 0 8 EF H G 3 8 The answer is.375 or 3/8. Chapter 36
