Why might it be useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial function?
It is useful to know the linear factors of a polynomial because they give you the zeros of the polynomial. If (x-c) is one of the linear factors of a polynomial, then p(c)=0. Here the notation p(x) is used to denoted a polynomial function at p(c) means the value of that function when evaluated at c. Conversely, if d is a zero of the polynomial, then (x-d) is a factor.
How do you write an equation that shows y is a function of x?
The normal way of showing that y is a function of x is to write y = f(x).
How do you Rewrite x - 2y 8 using function notation?
If you mean: x-2y = 8 then it is y = 0.5x-4.
What is the function in algebra of ordered pairs?
The function in algebra of ordered pairs is function notation. For example, it would be written out like: f(x)=3x/4 if you wanted to know three fourths of a number.
How do you evaluate functions?
To evaluate a function means to replace the variable with some value, and calculate the value of the function. For example, in the parabola y = x2 (or, using functional notation, f(x) = x2), if you replace x with 10, and calculate x2, you are evaluating the function for that specific value.
