What is a polynomial function?

Back

A function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = a_nx^n + a_(n-1)x^(n-1) + ... + a_1x + a_0, where a_n, a_(n-1), ..., a_0 are constants and n is a non-negative integer.

Front

What is synthetic division?

Back

A simplified method of dividing a polynomial by a binomial of the form (x - c).

Front

What are relative extrema?

Back

Points on the graph of a function where the function changes direction from increasing to decreasing or vice versa.
