Exponents

Goals and ObjectivesStudents will be able to simplify complex expressions containing exponents.

Exponents

Why do we need this?Exponents allow us to condense bigger

expressions into smaller ones. Combining all properties of powers together, we can easily take a complicated expression and

make it simpler.

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials


Vocabulary

A term is the product of a number and one or more variables to a non-negative exponent.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent contained in the polynomial, when more than one variable the degree is found by adding the exponents of each variable Term

degree degree=3+1+2=6

Identify the degree of the polynomials:

What is the difference between a monomial and a polynomial?

A monomial is a product of a number and one or more variables raised to non-negative exponents. There is only one term in a monomial.

A polynomial is a sum or difference of two or more monomials where each monomial is called a term. More specifically, if two terms are added, this is called a BINOMIAL. And if three terms are added this is called a TRINOMIAL.

For example: 5x2 32m3n4 7 -3y 23a11b4

For example: 5x2 + 7m 32m + 4n3 - 3yz5 23a11 + b4

Standard Form

The standard form of an polynomial is to put the terms in order from highest degree (power) to the lowest degree.

Example: is in standard form.

Rearrange the following terms into standard form:

Monomials with the same variables and the same power are like terms.

To multiply a polynomial by a polynomial, you multiply each term of the first polynomials by each term of the second. Then, add like terms.

Some find it helpful to draw arches connecting the terms, others find it easier to organize their work using an area model. Each method is shown below. Note: The size of your area model is determined by how many terms are in each polynomial.

Analyzing Graphs and Tables of Polynomial Functions


X Y-3 58-2 19-1 00 -51 -22 33 44 -5

A polynomial function can graphed by creating a table, graphing the points, and then connecting the points with a smooth curve.

X Y-3 58-2 19-1 00 -51 -22 33 44 -5

How many zeros does this function appear to have?

X Y-3 58-2 19-1 00 -51 -22 33 44 -5

There is a zero at x = -1, a second between x = 1 and x = 2, and a third between x = 3 and x = 4. Can we recognize zeros given only a table?

Intermediate Value TheoremGiven a continuous function f(x), every value between f(a) and f(b) exists.

Let a = 2 and b = 4,then f(a)= -2 and f(b)= 4.

For every x value between 2 and 4, there exists a y-value between -2 and 4.

X Y-3 58-2 19-1 00 -51 -22 33 44 -5

The Intermediate Value Theorem justifies saying that there is a zero between x = 1 and x = 2 and that there is another between x = 3 and x = 4.

Relative Maximums and Relative MinimumsRelative maximums occur at the top of a local "hill".Relative minimums occur at the bottom of a local "valley".

There are 2 relative maximum points at x = -1 and the other at x = 1 The relative maximum value is -1 (the y-coordinate).

There is a relative minimum at x =0 and the value of -2

How do we recognize "hills" and "valleys" or the relative maximums and minimums from a table?

Finding Zeros of a Polynomial Function


Vocabulary

A zero of a function occurs when f(x)=0

An imaginary zero occurs when the solution to f(x)=0, contains complex numbers.

The number of the zeros of a polynomial, both real and imaginary, is equal to the degree of the polynomial.

This is the graph of a polynomial with degree 4. It has four unique zeros: -2.25, -.75, .75, 2.25

Since there are 4 real zerosthere are no imaginary zeros4 - 4= 0

When a vertex is on the x-axis, that zero counts as two zeros.

This is also a polynomial of degree 4. It has two unique real zeros: -1.75 and 1.75. These two zeros are said to have a Multiplicity of two.

Real Zeros -1.75 1.75

There are 4 real zeros, therefore, no imaginary zeros for this function.

RATIONAL ZEROS THEOREM

RATIONAL ZEROS THEOREMMake list of POTENTIAL rational zeros and test it out.

Potential List:

Test out the potential zeros by using the Remainder Theorem.

Remainder Theorem For a polynomial p(x) and a possible zero a, (x-a) is a factor of p(x) if and only if p(a) = 0.

1 is a distinct zero, therefore (x -1) is a factor of the polynomial. Use POLYNOMIAL DIVISION to factor out.
