Study Notes
Solving Polynomial Inequalities
- A polynomial inequality is a mathematical statement that relates a polynomial expression as less than or greater than another.
- Sign charts can be used to solve polynomial inequalities with one variable.
- Graphs are helpful in providing a visualization to the solutions of polynomial inequalities.
Critical Points and Intervals
- Critical points are the x-intercepts of a polynomial graph, where the graph may possibly change from being above the x-axis to below the x-axis.
- In a graph, critical points are the only places where the function may change sign (from f(x) > 0 to f(x) < 0).
- Within each interval between two adjacent critical points, the function maintains the same sign (either f(x) > 0 or f(x) < 0).
