Polynomials explanations, examples, practice problems. Ready? Let's do this.
Polynomial Review
We covered polynomials plenty of times in the past, so we only need a little time to refresh ourselves on the basics. Prepare yourself, Shmooper, for a quick-time polynomial review.• What do they...
Roots of Higher-Degree Polynomials
The roots of a polynomial are important. They tell us what the factors are, where the graphs touch the x-axis, and how much money we could save on our car insurance. In this section, we're going to...
Behavior of Polynomial Graphs
We don't have to go into graphing polynomials blindly, plugging in values at random, hoping our graph looks kinda sorta like the real thing. Polynomials are well behaved, as we remember from our pr...
Rational Functions
We've seen some huge, lumbering polynomials before. Dinosaur-sized polynomials, even, but less extinct. So the idea of putting one polynomial on top of another, to make a rational function, seems t...
