In order to master the techniques eplained here it is vital that you undertake plenty of practice eercises so that they become second nature.

What is a polynomial? Apolynomialofdegree nisafunctionoftheform f() = a n n + a n 1 n a a 1 + a 0 where the a s are real numbers(sometimes called the coefficients of the polynomial). Although this general formula might look quite complicated, particular eamples are much simpler. For eample, f() = isapolynomialofdegree3,as3isthehighestpowerof intheformula.thisiscalledacubic polynomial, or just a cubic. And f() = isapolynomialofdegree7,as7isthehighestpowerof.noticeherethatwedon tneedevery powerof upto7: weneedtoknowonlythehighestpowerof tofindoutthedegree. An eampleofakindyoumaybefamiliarwithis f() = whichisapolynomialofdegree2,as2isthehighestpowerof.thisiscalledaquadratic. Functions containing other operations, such as square roots, are not polynomials. For eample, f() = isnotapolynomialasitcontainsasquareroot.and f() = / isnotapolynomialasitcontainsa divideby. Apolynomialisafunctionoftheform Key Point f() = a n n + a n 1 n a a 1 + a 0. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of in its epression. Constant(non-zero) polynomials, linear polynomials, quadratics, cubics and quartics are polynomials of degree 0, 1, 2,3and4respectively.Thefunction f() = 0isalsoapolynomial,butwesaythatitsdegree is undefined. c mathcentre June 25, mc-ty-polynomial

Graphs of polynomial functions Wehavemetsomeofthebasicpolynomialsalready.Foreample, f() = 2isaconstantfunction and f() = 2 + 1isalinearfunction. f () f () = f () = 2 1 It is important to notice that the graphs of constant functions and linear functions are always straight lines. Wehavealreadysaidthataquadraticfunctionisapolynomialofdegree2. Herearesome eamples of quadratic functions: f() = 2, f() = 2 2, f() = 5 2. Whatistheimpactofchangingthecoefficientof 2 aswehavedoneintheseeamples? One waytofindoutistosketchthegraphsofthefunctions. f () f () = 5 2 f () = 2 2 f () = 2 Youcanseefromthegraphthat,asthecoefficientof 2 isincreased,thegraphisstretched vertically(that is, in the y direction).

Turning points of polynomial functions Aturningpointofafunctionisapointwherethegraphofthefunctionchangesfromsloping downwards to sloping upwards, or vice versa. So the gradient changes from negative to positive, orfrompositivetonegative. Generallyspeaking,curvesofdegree ncanhaveupto (n 1) turning points. For instance, a quadratic has only one turning point. Acubiccouldhaveuptotwoturningpoints,and so would look something like this. However, some cubics have fewer turning points: for eample f() = 3. Butnocubichasmorethantwo turning points. c mathcentre June 25, mc-ty-polynomial
7 Inthesameway,aquarticcouldhaveuptothree turning turning points, and so would look something like this. Again, some quartics have fewer turning points, but none has more. Key Point Apolynomialofdegree ncanhaveupto (n 1)turningpoints. 5. Roots of polynomial functions Youmayrecallthatwhen ( a)( b) = 0,weknowthat aand barerootsofthefunction f() = ( a)( b). Nowwecanusetheconverseofthis,andsaythatif aand bareroots, thenthepolynomialfunctionwiththeserootsmustbe f() = ( a)( b),oramultipleof this.

Foreample,iftherootsofapolynomialare = 1, = 2, = 3, = 4,thenthefunctionmust be f() = ( 1)( 2)( 3)( 4), or a constant multiple of this. Letusalsothinkaboutthefunction f() = ( 2) 2.Wecanseestraightawaythat 2 = 0, sothat = 2. Forthisfunctionwehaveonlyoneroot. Thisiswhatwecallarepeatedroot, andarootcanberepeatedanynumberoftimes. Foreample, f() = ( 2) 3 ( + 4) 4 has arepeatedroot = 2,andanotherrepeatedroot = 4. Wesaythattheroot = 2has multiplicity3,andthattheroot = 4hasmultiplicity4.
