Polynomials are used for many things in math and other sciences. One important function is to turn words into mathematical language. Polynomials are needed for polynomial equations and these let us solve many important important problems in physics, chemistry, engineering, and many more fields.
What else can I help you with?
Can the exponents in a polynomial function be negative?
No. It would not be a polynomial function then.
A polynomial function is always continuous?
Yes, a polynomial function is always continuous
Is log n considered a polynomial function?
No, log n is not considered a polynomial function. It is a logarithmic function, which grows at a slower rate than polynomial functions.
How is a rational function the ratio of two polynomial functions?
That's the definition of a "rational function". You simply divide a polynomial by another polynomial. The result is called a "rational function".
How does my knowledge of polynomial function prepare me to understand rational function?
A rational function is the quotient of two polynomial functions.
Example of fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
What is the difference between rational and polynomials?
A polynomial function is simply a function that is made of one or more mononomials. For example 4x^2+3x-5 A rational function is when a polynomial function is divided by another polynomial function.
Is an absolute value function a polynomial function?
No it is not
What is a quadratic function is a function whose rule is a polynomial of degree what?
A polynomial of degree 2.
What is a second degree polynomial function?
A second-degree polynomial function is a function of the form: P(x) = ax2 + bx + cWhere a ≠ 0.
Can the graph of a polynomial function have no y-intercept?
No, the graph of a polynomial function cannot have no y-intercept. A polynomial function is defined for all real numbers, and when you evaluate it at (x = 0), you get the y-intercept, which is the value of the function at that point. Thus, every polynomial function will intersect the y-axis at least once, ensuring it has a y-intercept.
What is a root of a polynomial function?
A value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero (apex)
