If we look at graphs of the parent functions f(x)=xnf(x)=xn, we will notice some major similarities. Odd Degree Polynomials Figure 7 shows the graphs of f(x)=x1,f(x)=x3,f(x)=x5f(x)=x1,f(x)=x3,f(x)=x5, and f(x)=x51f(x)=x51, which all have odd degrees. When n=...

Smooth, Continuous Graphs Two important features of the graphs of polynomial functions are that they are smooth and continuous. By smooth, we mean that the graph contains only rounded curves with no sharp corners. By continuous, we mean that the graph has no breaks and can be drawn without l...
Characteristics The exponents of a polynomial function will all be nonnegative integers (no fractions or decimals). The graphs of polynomial functions are smooth and continuous: “smooth” means rounded curves with no sharp corners. “continuous” means the graphs have no breaks. ...

Polynomial functions of degree 2 or more are smooth, continuous functions. To find the zeros of a polynomial function, if it can be factored, factor the function and set each factor equal to zero. Another way to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial function is to graph the function and ...

Rational root theorem: A rational root of a polynomial function f(x) is of the form p/q where p is a factor of the constant and q is a factor of the leading coefficient. What Are the Examples of Polynomial Functions? Here are a few examples of eachtype of polynomial function: ...
