Polynomial functions: http://prntscr.com/47kxdi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this would be C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, the Degree is the Highest Exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the Leading Coefficient is the Number with the highest exponent, So B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. So what would make this C, that's where I got confused when I was doing in myself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, its B xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just want to know what would make in C...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

This is not a polynomial function. \[\Large\rm f(x)=3x^{2/3}+4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What he said.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Do you see a difference between this and the function they gave you? :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see tha difference ;o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't go down by 1? (the exponent)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So for polynomial, the exponents must be positive integers. Is there some kind of restriction on the coefficients also? Like they have to be real or something? Blah I can't remember. Just pay attention to the exponent thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL. Omg.I Need history help ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

coefficients need to be Real numbers only!
