1. Hope Moran Polynomial Functions

2. Polynomial Function- A function that can be written

3. F(x)= ax^n + bx^n-1 + cx^n-2

4. A, B, & C…. G, H are REAL numbers N is a positive integer

5. Degree: highest power of x in standard form. Leading Coefficient: The coefficient of the first term, if the terms are in descending order. Standard Form: Everything in the problem is multiplied together (no parentheses.) Factored Form: f(x)= (x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)… Vocab
