Rational Functions.7 Inverses and Radical Functions.8 Modeling Using Variation Introduction Digital photograph has dramaticall changed the nature of photograph. No longer is an image etched in the emulsion on a roll of film. Instead, nearl ever aspect of recording and manipulating images is no governed b mathematics. An image becomes a series of numbers, representing the characteristics of light striking an image sensor. When e open an image file, softare on a camera or computer interprets the numbers and converts them to a visual image. Photo editing softare uses comple polnomials to transform images, alloing us to manipulate the image in order to crop details, change the color palette, and add special effects. Inverse functions make it possible to convert from one file format to another. In this chapter, e ill learn about these concepts and discover ho mathematics can be used in such applications.

2 SECTION. GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS 7 LEARNING OBJECTIVES In this section, ou ill: Recognize characteristics of graphs of polnomial functions. Use factoring to find zeros of polnomial functions. Identif zeros and their multiplicities. Determine end behavior. Understand the relationship beteen degree and turning points. Graph polnomial functions. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem.. GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS The revenue in millions of dollars for a fictional cable compan from 00 through 0 is shon in Table. Year Revenues The revenue can be modeled b the polnomial function Table R(t) = 0.07t +.t 9.777t + 8.9t 0. here R represents the revenue in millions of dollars and t represents the ear, ith t = corresponding to 00. Over hich intervals is the revenue for the compan increasing? Over hich intervals is the revenue for the compan decreasing? These questions, along ith man others, can be ansered b eamining the graph of the polnomial function. We have alread eplored the local behavior of quadratics, a special case of polnomials. In this section e ill eplore the local behavior of polnomials in general. Recognizing Characteristics of Graphs of Polnomial Functions Polnomial functions of degree or more have graphs that do not have sharp corners; recall that these tpes of graphs are called smooth curves. Polnomial functions also displa graphs that have no breaks. Curves ith no breaks are called continuous.

The are smooth and continuous. The graphs of g and k are graphs of functions that are not polnomials. The graph of function g has a sharp corner. The graph of function k is not continuous. Q & A Do all polnomial functions have as their domain all real numbers? Yes. An real number is a valid input for a polnomial function. Using Factoring to Find Zeros of Polnomial Functions Recall that if f is a polnomial function, the values of for hich f () = 0 are called zeros of f. If the equation of the polnomial function can be factored, e can set each factor equal to zero and solve for the zeros. We can use this method to find -intercepts because at the -intercepts e find the input values hen the output value is zero. For general polnomials, this can be a challenging prospect. While quadratics can be solved using the relativel simple quadratic formula, the corresponding formulas for cubic and fourth-degree polnomials are not simple enough to remember, and formulas do not eist for general higher-degree polnomials. Consequentl, e ill limit ourselves to three cases:. The polnomial can be factored using knon methods: greatest common factor and trinomial factoring.. The polnomial is given in factored form.. Technolog is used to determine the intercepts. Ho To Given a polnomial function f, find the -intercepts b factoring.. Set f () = 0.. If the polnomial function is not given in factored form: a.

Solution The -intercept can be found b evaluating g(0). So the -intercept is (0, ). The -intercepts can be found b solving g() = 0. So the -intercepts are (, 0) and (, 0 ). g(0) = (0 ) ((0) + ) = ( ) ( + ) = 0 ( ) = 0 ( + ) = 0 = 0 or = = Analsis We can alas check that our ansers are reasonable b using a graphing calculator to graph the polnomial as shon in Figure. g() = ( ) ( + ) (0, ) 9 (., 0) (, 0) Figure Eample Finding the -Intercepts of a Polnomial Function Using a Graph Find the -intercepts of h() = + +. Solution This polnomial is not in factored form, has no common factors, and does not appear to be factorable using techniques previousl discussed. Fortunatel, e can use technolog to find the intercepts. Keep in mind that some values make graphing difficult b hand. In these cases, e can take advantage of graphing utilities.

6 SECTION. GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS 79 We can check hether these are correct b substituting these values for and verifing that Since h() = + +, e have: h( ) = h( ) = h() = 0. h( ) = ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = 7 + = 0 h( ) = ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = 8 + = 0 h() = () + () + () = + + = 0 Each -intercept corresponds to a zero of the polnomial function and each zero ields a factor, so e can no rite the polnomial in factored form. h() = + + = ( + )( + )( ) Tr It # Find the - and -intercepts of the function f () = Identifing Zeros and Their Multiplicities Graphs behave differentl at various -intercepts. Sometimes, the graph ill cross over the horizontal ais at an intercept. Other times, the graph ill touch the horizontal ais and "bounce" off. Suppose, for eample, e graph the function shon. f () = ( + )( ) ( + ). Notice in Figure 7 that the behavior of the function at each of the -intercepts is different f () = ( + )( ) ( + ) Figure 7 Identifing the behavior of the graph at an -intercept b eamining the multiplicit of the zero. The -intercept = is the solution of equation ( + ) = 0. The graph passes directl through the -intercept at =. The factor is linear (has a degree of ), so the behavior near the intercept is like that of a line it passes directl through the intercept. We call this a single zero because the zero corresponds to a single factor of the function. The -intercept = is the repeated solution of equation ( ) = 0. The graph touches the ais at the intercept and changes direction. The factor is quadratic (degree ), so the behavior near the intercept is like that of a quadratic it bounces off of the horizontal ais at the intercept. ( ) = ( )( ) The factor is repeated, that is, the factor ( ) appears tice. The number of times a given factor appears in the factored form of the equation of a polnomial is called the multiplicit. The zero associated ith this factor, =, has multiplicit because the factor ( ) occurs tice. Donload for free at

7 80 CHAPTER POLYNOMIAL AND RATIONAL FUNCTIONS The -intercept = is the repeated solution of factor ( + ) = 0. The graph passes through the ais at the intercept, but flattens out a bit first. This factor is cubic (degree ), so the behavior near the intercept is like that of a cubic ith the same S-shape near the intercept as the toolkit function f () =. We call this a triple zero, or a zero ith multiplicit. For zeros ith even multiplicities, the graphs touch or are tangent to the -ais. For zeros ith odd multiplicities, the graphs cross or intersect the -ais. See Figure 8 for eamples of graphs of polnomial functions ith multiplicit,, and. p = p = p = Single zero Zero ith multiplicit Figure 8 Zero ith multiplicit For higher even poers, such as,, and 8, the graph ill still touch and bounce off of the horizontal ais but, for each increasing even poer, the graph ill appear flatter as it approaches and leaves the -ais. For higher odd poers, such as, 7, and 9, the graph ill still cross through the horizontal ais, but for each increasing odd poer, the graph ill appear flatter as it approaches and leaves the -ais. graphical behavior of polnomials at -intercepts If a polnomial contains a factor of the form ( h) p, the behavior near the -intercept h is determined b the poer p. We sa that = h is a zero of multiplicit p. The graph of a polnomial function ill touch the -ais at zeros ith even multiplicities. The graph ill cross the -ais at zeros ith odd multiplicities. The sum of the multiplicities is the degree of the polnomial function. Ho To Given a graph of a polnomial function of degree n, identif the zeros and their multiplicities.. If the graph crosses the -ais and appears almost linear at the intercept, it is a single zero.. If the graph touches the -ais and bounces off of the ais, it is a zero ith even multiplicit.. If the graph crosses the -ais at a zero, it is a zero ith odd multiplicit.. The sum of the multiplicities is n.

8 SECTION. GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS Figure 9 Solution The polnomial function is of degree. The sum of the multiplicities must be. Starting from the left, the first zero occurs at =. The graph touches the -ais, so the multiplicit of the zero must be even. The zero of most likel has multiplicit. The net zero occurs at =. The graph looks almost linear at this point. This is a single zero of multiplicit. The last zero occurs at =. The graph crosses the -ais, so the multiplicit of the zero must be odd. We kno that the multiplicit is likel and that the sum of the multiplicities is likel. Tr It # Use the graph of the function of degree in Figure 0 to identif the zeros of the function and their multiplicities Figure 0 Determining End Behavior As e have alread learned, the behavior of a graph of a polnomial function of the form f () = a n n + a n n a + a 0 ill either ultimatel rise or fall as increases ithout bound and ill either rise or fall as decreases ithout bound. This is because for ver large inputs, sa 00 or,000, the leading term dominates the size of the output. The same is true for ver small inputs, sa 00 or,000. Recall that e call this behavior the end behavior of a function. As e pointed out hen discussing quadratic equations, hen the leading term of a polnomial function, a n n, is an even poer function, as increases or decreases ithout bound, f () increases ithout bound. When the leading term is an odd poer function, as decreases ithout bound, f () also decreases ithout bound; as increases ithout bound, f () also increases ithout bound. If the leading term is negative, it ill change the direction of the end behavior. Figure summarizes all four cases. Donload for free at

It ma have a turning point here the graph changes from increasing to decreasing (rising to falling) or decreasing to increasing (falling to rising). Look at the graph of the polnomial function f () = + in Figure. The graph has three turning points.

10 SECTION. GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS 8 interpreting turning points A turning point is a point of the graph here the graph changes from increasing to decreasing (rising to falling) or decreasing to increasing (falling to rising). A polnomial of degree n ill have at most n turning points. Eample 7 Finding the Maimum Number of Turning Points Using the Degree of a Polnomial Function Find the maimum number of turning points of each polnomial function. a. f () = + + b. f () = ( ) ( + ) Solution a. f () = + + First, rerite the polnomial function in descending order: f () = + Identif the degree of the polnomial function.

The maimum number of turning points is =. b. f () = ( ) ( + ) First, identif the leading term of the polnomial function if the function ere epanded. f () = ( ) ( + ) a n = ( )( ) Then, identif the degree of the polnomial function. This polnomial function is of degree. The maimum number of turning points is =. Graphing Polnomial Functions We can use hat e have learned about multiplicities, end behavior, and turning points to sketch graphs of polnomial functions. Let us put this all together and look at the steps required to graph polnomial functions. Ho To Given a polnomial function, sketch the graph.. Find the intercepts.. Check for smmetr. If the function is an even function, its graph is smmetrical about the -ais, that is, f ( ) = f (). If a function is an odd function, its graph is smmetrical about the origin, that is, f ( ) = f ().. Use the multiplicities of the zeros to determine the behavior of the polnomial at the -intercepts.. Determine the end behavior b eamining the leading term.. Use the end behavior and the behavior at the intercepts to sketch a graph.. Ensure that the number of turning points does not eceed one less than the degree of the polnomial. 7. Optionall, use technolog to check the graph. Eample 8 Sketching the Graph of a Polnomial Function Sketch a graph of f () = ( + ) ( ). Solution This graph has to -intercepts. At =, the factor is squared, indicating a multiplicit of. The graph ill bounce at this -intercept. At =, the function has a multiplicit of one, indicating the graph ill cross through the ais at this intercept. The -intercept is found b evaluating f (0).

11 8 CHAPTER POLYNOMIAL AND RATIONAL FUNCTIONS Additionall, e can see the leading term, if this polnomial ere multiplied out, ould be, so the end behavior is that of a verticall reflected cubic, ith the outputs decreasing as the inputs approach infinit, and the outputs increasing as the inputs approach negative infinit. See Figure. To sketch this, e consider that: Figure As the function f (), so e kno the graph starts in the second quadrant and is decreasing toard the -ais. Since f ( ) = ( + ) ( ) is not equal to f (), the graph does not displa smmetr. At (, 0), the graph bounces off of the -ais, so the function must start increasing. At (0, 90), the graph crosses the -ais at the -intercept. See Figure. (0, 90) (, 0) Figure Somehere after this point, the graph must turn back don or start decreasing toard the horizontal ais because the graph passes through the net intercept at (, 0). See Figure.

GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS 8 Using technolog, e can create the graph for the polnomial function, shon in Figure, and verif that the resulting graph looks like our sketch in Figure. 80 f () = ( + ) ( ) Figure The complete graph of the polnomial function f ( ) = ( + ) ( ) Tr It # Sketch a graph of f () = ( ) ( + ). Using the Intermediate Value Theorem In some situations, e ma kno to points on a graph but not the zeros. If those to points are on opposite sides of the -ais, e can confirm that there is a zero beteen them. Consider a polnomial function f hose graph is smooth and continuous. The Intermediate Value Theorem states that for to numbers a and b in the domain of f, if a < b and f (a) f (b), then the function f takes on ever value beteen f (a) and f (b). (While the theorem is intuitive, the proof is actuall quite complicated and require higher mathematics.) We can appl this theorem to a special case that is useful in graphing polnomial functions. If a point on the graph of a continuous function f at = a lies above the -ais and another point at = b lies belo the -ais, there must eist a third point beteen = a and = b here the graph crosses the -ais. Call this point (c, f (c)). This means that e are assured there is a solution c here f (c) = 0. In other ords, the Intermediate Value Theorem tells us that hen a polnomial function changes from a negative value to a positive value, the function must cross the -ais. Figure 7 shos that there is a zero beteen a and b. f (b) is positive f (c) = 0 f(a) is negative Figure 7 Using the Intermediate Value Theorem to sho there eists a zero Intermediate Value Theorem Let f be a polnomial function.

Also, since f () is negative and f () is positive, b the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must be at least one real zero beteen and.

Writing Formulas for Polnomial Functions No that e kno ho to find zeros of polnomial functions, e can use them to rite formulas based on graphs. Because a polnomial function ritten in factored form ill have an -intercept here each factor is equal to zero, e can form a function that ill pass through a set of -intercepts b introducing a corresponding set of factors. factored form of polnomials If a polnomial of loest degree p has horizontal intercepts at =,,, n, then the polnomial can be ritten in the factored form: f () = a( ) p ( ) p ( n) p n here the poers p i on each factor can be determined b the behavior of the graph at the corresponding intercept, and the stretch factor a can be determined given a value of the function other than the -intercept.

At = and =, the graph passes through the ais linearl, suggesting the corresponding factors of the polnomial ill be linear. At =, the graph bounces at the intercept, suggesting the corresponding factor of the polnomial ill be second degree (quadratic). Together, this gives us f () = a( + )( ) ( ) To determine the stretch factor, e utilize another point on the graph. We ill use the -intercept (0, ), to solve for a. f (0) = a(0 + )(0 ) (0 ) = a(0 + )(0 ) (0 ) = 0a a = 0 The graphed polnomial appears to represent the function f () = 0 ( + )( ) ( ).

For general polnomials, finding these turning points is not possible ithout more advanced techniques from calculus. Even then, finding here etrema occur can still be algebraicall challenging. For no, e ill estimate the locations of turning points using technolog to generate a graph. Each turning point represents a local minimum or maimum. Sometimes, a turning point is the highest or loest point on the entire graph. In these cases, e sa that the turning point is a global maimum or a global minimum. These are also referred to as the absolute maimum and absolute minimum values of the function. Donload for free at

15 88 CHAPTER POLYNOMIAL AND RATIONAL FUNCTIONS local and global etrema A local maimum or local minimum at = a (sometimes called the relative maimum or minimum, respectivel) is the output at the highest or loest point on the graph in an open interval around = a. If a function has a local maimum at a, then f (a) f () for all in an open interval around = a. If a function has a local minimum at a, then f (a) f () for all in an open interval around = a. A global maimum or global minimum is the output at the highest or loest point of the function. If a function has a global maimum at a, then f (a) f () for all. If a function has a global minimum at a, then f (a) f () for all. We can see the difference beteen local and global etrema in Figure. Global maimum Local maimum Figure Local minimum Q & A Do all polnomial functions have a global minimum or maimum? No. Onl polnomial functions of even degree have a global minimum or maimum.
