What kind of polynomial is 3x3 plus x plus 1?
what kind of polynomial is shown 3x3+x+1
If the factors of a polynomial are x plus 2 and x plus 6 what values of x make that polynomial 0?
-2 and -6
X plus 5 x plus 2 as a polynomial in standard form?
As a polynomial in standard form, x plus 5x plus 2 is 6x + 2.
Is it always true that for any polynomial px if x is a zero of the derivative then x px is a maximum or minimum value of px?
No. The important decider is the second derivative of the polynomial (the gradient of the gradient of the polynomial) at the zero of the first derivative: If less than zero, then the point is a maximum If more than zero, then the point in a minimum If equal to zero, then the point is a point of inflection. Consider the polynomial f(x) = x3, then f'(x) = 3x2 f'(0) = 0 -> x = 0 could be a maximum, minimum or point of inflection. f''(x) = 6x f''(0) = 0 -> x = 0 is a point of inflection Points of inflection do not necessarily have a zero gradient, unlike maxima and minima which must. Points of inflection are the zeros of the second derivative of the polynomial.
