Study Notes
Polynomial Functions and Equations
- y = x³ + 2 represents a cubic function with a vertical shift of 2 units.
- y = x² characterizes a quadratic function; a comparison with y = x⁴ indicates that y = x⁴ resembles y = x² more closely due to both being even-degree polynomials.
- y = x³ + 2x² − x − 2 is a cubic function that can be factored to find its roots.
- y = x³ − 4 represents a cubic function that has a real root that can be found using the factor theorem.
Polynomial Roots and Behavior
- A cubic function, such as y = (x−3)³, must have at least one real root due to its odd degree.
- Complex roots can appear in conjugate pairs; for instance, (x + 2 ± 3i) expands to x² + 4x + 13.
- The function f(x)= - x(x+1)²(x-3)² indicates there could be multiple roots at x = -1 and x = 3 due to the squared terms.
Graph Transformations and Characteristics
- The transformation of y = (x−3)³ + 5 shifts the graph of y = (x−3)³ upwards by 5 units.
- Higher degree polynomials (e.g., y = x⁵) resemble cubic functions in terms of end behavior, especially compared to y = x².
- The function f(x)= x(x+1)(x-3) indicates the roots are at x = 0, x = -1, and x = 3.
Factoring and Expanding
- The product (x + 4)(x - 4)(x + 4i)(x - 4i) simplifies to x⁴ - 16, showcasing the difference of squares and complex roots.
- Polynomial expressions need to be expanded to find standard form, as with y = x⁴ − 10x³ + 35x² − 50x + 24 from its factors.
- Products can represent basic polynomial forms, such as (2x-3)(3x+5) which simplifies to 6x² + x - 15.
Analyzing Polynomial Degrees and Roots
- A cubic polynomial such as y = x³ will have three complex roots, counted with multiplicity from its degree.
- The function f(x) = - x²(x + 1)(x - 3)³ indicates the polynomial opens downward and has multiple turning points due to the squared factors.
Miscellaneous Polynomial Facts
- Equations like f(x) = x(x + 1)²(x - 3)² are useful for determining the multiplicity of roots when graphing.
- Examples of combining factors: (x + 3)(x + 4) results in x² + 7x + 12, indicating the method for expansion in polynomial expressions.
- Distinct factor pairs such as (x - 10)(x - 2) result in expanding to x² - 12x + 20, providing foundations in understanding polynomial transformations.
