Lesson 14-3 Meghan examines several polynomial functions and thinks that she has found a pattern. She believes that every even-degree polynomial is even and that every odd-degree polynomial is odd. Which function disproves her assertion? Why?

The degree of the function is odd, 3, however as seen in the graph, the

Main Ideas for success in lessons 18-1, 18-2, & 18-3:

Graph polynomial functions

Describe roots of polynomial functions

Compare properties of functions represented in different ways

Use graphing to solve polynomial inequalities

Example: Lesson 18-1:

k(x) = x4 − 10x2 + 9 = (x + 3)(x − 3)(x + 1)(x − 1) The unfactored polynomial reveals that the function is even (degree = 4), so the graph is symmetrical around the y-axis. The leading coefficient is positive ( ), so the value of the function increases as x approaches negative and positive infinity ( ). It also reveals that the y-intercept is 9. The factored form shows that the x-intercepts are −3, −1, 1, and 3.

Lesson 18-3:

Example (comparing functions):

the vertex of f(x) is at (–2, –2).

The function g(x) is given by the equation Which

function has a greater range, and why?

A. f(x), because the highest-degree term has a positive coefficient in f(x) and a

negative coefficient in g(x) B. f(x), because as x→∞,y→∞, whereas with g(x), as x→∞,y→−∞

C. g(x), because the range of g(x) is (−∞,∞), whereas with f(x), the range

is [−2,∞)

D. g (x), because it is a higher-degree polynomial than f(x)
