Identify the zeros of the following polynomials:

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 7)

(-3, 0)(2, 0)(-7, 0)

100

Divide the following polynomial:

(x^3+x^2-22x-40)

divide (x+2)

(x + 2)(x - 5)(x + 4)

100

Describe and sketch the end behavior of the following polynomial:

Deg:

Pos or neg:

f(x)=(4x+3)(x-1)

Deg: 2, even

Positive

x -> -oo, f(x)-> oo

x -> oo, f(x)-> oo

100

Describe the multiplicity (what type of function) of each factor:

(x-6)(x+4)^3


(x-6) - linear (straight line)

(x+4) - Cubic (s-shaped)

100

True or false: Is the polynomial in standard form? If not, put it into standard form.

x^4+3x^3+2+x+5x^5+8x^2

False

5x^5+x^4+3x^3+8x^2+x+2

200

Given the following x-intercepts, write the factored form expression:

(-5, 0)(-2, 0)(1, 0)

f(x) = (x + 5)(x + 2)(x - 1)

200

Use the remainder theorem to evaluate (x - 4):

What does the answer tell you about (x - 4)

f(x)= 2x^3-4x^2-7x-10

remainder = 26

(x - 4) is not a factor

200

What was the degree, and was the following function positive or negative:

odd degree, positive

200

y=(x+2)^2(x-1)

x = -2

Multiplicity: Even or Odd

Behavior: Cross or Bounce

x = 1

Multiplicity: Even or Odd

Behavior: Cross or Bounce

x = -2

Even, Bounce

x = 1

Odd, Cross

200

Factored form

300

Identify the zeros of the following polynomials:

f(x) = x (x - 10)(x - 9)(x + 1)

(0, 0)(10, 0)(9, 0)(-1, 0)

300

Divide the following polynomial:

(x^3+3x^2-73x-315) 

divide (x-9)

(x + 7)(x + 5)(x - 9)

300

Describe and sketch the end behavior of the following polynomial:

Deg:

x -> oo, f(x)-> -oo

300

Describe the multiplicity (what type of function) of each factor:

(x-4)^2(x+9)

(x-5) - quadratic (u-shaped)

(x+7) - Linear (straight line)

300

is (x+7) a factor of 

x^3+2x^2-41x-42

? How do you know?

Yes since there is no remainder!

400

Given the following x-intercepts, write the factored form expression:

(3, 0)(2/3, 0)(-6, 0)(0, 0)

f(x) = x (x - 3)(x - 2/3)(x + 6)

400

Use the remainder theorem to evaluate (x - 3):

What does the answer tell you about (x - 3)

f(x)=-2x^3+8x^2-3x-9

Remainder = 0

(x - 3) is a factor because there is no remainder

400

What was the degree, and was the following function positive or negative:

Even degree, positive
