What is the range of a quadratic function?

Back

The range of a quadratic function is the set of possible output values (y-values). For a function that opens upwards, the range is from the vertex's y-value to infinity; for a function that opens downwards, it is from negative infinity to the vertex's y-value.

What is end behavior in polynomial functions?

Back

End behavior describes how the values of a polynomial function behave as the input values approach positive or negative infinity. It is determined by the leading term of the polynomial.

How do you find the roots of a polynomial?

Back

The roots of a polynomial are the values of x for which the polynomial equals zero. They can be found using factoring, the quadratic formula, or numerical methods.

What is polynomial long division?

Back

Polynomial long division is a method used to divide a polynomial by another polynomial, similar to long division with numbers. It involves dividing the leading terms and subtracting the result from the original polynomial.
