Is the following polynomial of even or odd degree?

y = (5x + 1)3 (2x + 5)

even = total degree of 4

100

What's the definition of "degree"

the biggest exponent in a function

100

Why isn't the function below a polynomial?

y = x6 + 5x4 + 2x1/2 + 3x

-fractional exponent

OR

-variable is the exponent

Sketch the end behavior of the graph y = 4x5 + 5x3 - 2x

(one of four possible shapes)

s-shape that goes up on right and down on left

200

It is easier to see the degree of a function when it is in...

a) factored form

b) standard form

standard form!

300

What happens to the y-values of the equation y=-4x3+5x-13 as the x-values get SMALLER AND SMALLER?

they increase 

300

name either of two ways to find the degree of a polynomial that's in factored form

-add up the multiplicities of each factor

-rewrite the polynomial in standard form

300

What shape does the graph make at an x-intercept if its factor has a multiplicity of 3?

an s-shape (flattens out and then gets steep again)

400

Find the zeros of this function: y= x2+5x+6

What is x=2 and x=3

400
If the leading coefficient is negative, what happens to the y-values as the x-values increase (no matter if the degree is even or odd)?

the y-values will decrease

400

The degree of this function is... y=(x-3)2(x+9)(2x-1)4

What is 7
