1. What A Learned About Polynomials And Linear Factors By: Mason Lambert

2. The Functions The way it is written is the Factored Form. F(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3) and so on… It can also be written in Standard Form. F(x)=x2+5x-8

3. Polynomials The Polynomial Functions are where a,b,c,dand so on are real numbers (n) is a positive integer. The exponent has to be a positive number, not a fraction or negative number.

4. Polynomials Continued… Correct Polynomial- F(x)=x2-x+4 Incorrect Polynomial- F(x)=x1/4+x(-3)+1

5. Other Vocabulary Degree- it is the highest power x in standard form. Leading Coefficient- the coefficient of the first term when the term is in descending order.
