Question

Help..? i had an algebra 2 dba and my teacher asked me how do i find the n of a polynomial function....

Answer 1

and how do i find the y-intercept of a polynomial function?

Answer 2

what is dba?

to find the y-intercept: replace x with 0 and solve for y.

Answer 3

@myininaya a dba is a discussion based assessment. and how do i find the n of a polynomial function?

Answer 4

I'm not sure what n means

Answer 5

is that the degree of the polynomial?

Answer 6

the degree of a polynomial is largest exponent number for the variable part

Answer 7

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

The following is called the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

A polynomial of degree n has at least one root, real or complex.

This apparently simple statement allows us to conclude:

A polynomial P(x) of degree n has exactly n roots, real or complex.

If the leading coefficient of P(x)is 1, then the Factor Theorem allows us to conclude:

P(x) = (x − rn)(x − rn − 1). . . (x − r2)(x − r1)

Hence a polynomial of the third degree, for example, will have three roots.




this is what i found about it... i'm not sure if it helps
