Just like you graph about any function: Pick some values for x, calculate the corresponding values for y, plot the points, join in a smooth curve.

What can the degree of a polynomial tell you about the graph?

The degree is equal to the maximum number of times the graph can cross a horizontal line.


What is the equation of a nonlinear graph if a is greater than 5?

There are infinitely many options. The equation could be a polynomial of degree greater than 1, or it could be a power function, a log function or any combination of these with trig functions. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that there is no clue in the question as to what a stands for.


What is the line graph in which the data points do not fallalong a straight line?

A non-linear graph. It could be a polynomial (of a degree greater than 1), a power function, a logarithmic or trigonometric graph. In fact any mathematical function other than a linear equation.


How do you do a parabola?

A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.


How do you find the factors of polynomails function of degree greater than 20?

With difficulty. Plot a graph of the polynomial and see where it crosses the x axis. If it does, then y=0 at that point, and (x-a) is a factor. Sometimes you might spot where the polynomial is zero just by trying various values.


What does the s shaped line in the graph indicate?

That it is non-linear. If it is a graph of a polynomial, it would need to be a polynomial of odd order. But it could be the graph of the tangent function, or a combination of reciprocal functions over a limited domain. In fact the s shaped line, by itself, indicates very little.


What is expression of the polynomial degree of 1?

An expression of polynomial degree 1 is a linear polynomial, typically written in the form ( ax + b ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are constants, and ( a \neq 0 ). The highest power of the variable ( x ) in this expression is 1, indicating that the graph of this polynomial is a straight line. Examples include ( 2x + 3 ) and ( -5x - 1 ).


How does the parity evenness oddness of a polynomial functions degree affect its graph?

An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. The graph to the left of the y-axis can be reflected onto the graph to the right. An odd function is anti-symmetric about the origin. The graph to the left of the y-axis must be reflected in the y-axis as well as in the x-axis (either one can be done first).


How do you graph a polynomial in order to solve for the Zeros?

Either graph the polynomial on graph paper manually or on a graphing calculator. If it is a "y=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the x-axis. If it is an "x=" polynomial, then the zeroes are the points or point where the polynomial touches the y-axis. If it touches neither, then it has no zeroes.


What is a even degree?

An even degree refers to a polynomial in which the highest exponent of the variable is an even number, such as 0, 2, 4, etc. For example, in the polynomial ( f(x) = x^4 + 2x^2 + 1 ), the highest degree is 4, making it an even-degree polynomial. Even-degree polynomials typically have a U-shaped graph and can have either no real roots or an even number of real roots.


How can the graph of a fourth degree polynomial have its only x intercepts 0 1 and 2?

Easy. Same thing as the graph of f(x) = x^2 + 1 which have NO intercept.


What do the zeros of a polynomial function represent on a graph?

The zeros of a polynomial represent the points at which the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.
