A quadratic polynomial is a third-degree polynomial?
No. A quadratic polynomial is degree 2 (2 is the highest power); a cubic polynomial is degree 3 (3 is the highest power).No. A quadratic polynomial is degree 2 (2 is the highest power); a cubic polynomial is degree 3 (3 is the highest power).No. A quadratic polynomial is degree 2 (2 is the highest power); a cubic polynomial is degree 3 (3 is the highest power).No. A quadratic polynomial is degree 2 (2 is the highest power); a cubic polynomial is degree 3 (3 is the highest power).
What are comparisons between a cubic and quadratic function?
They are both polynomial functions. A quadratic is of order 2 while a cubic is of order 3. A cubic MUST have a real root, a quadratic need not.
In a cubic polynomial 2xxx-5xx-14x 8 find the sum of the zeros?
2x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 8 Let P(x) represents the cubic polynomial. We can find the sum of x-values which make P(x) = 0, (the sum of the roots of the equation) P(x) = 2x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 8 P(x) = 0 2x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 8 = 0 Since the degree of this polynomial is odd, then the sum of the roots is -[a(n - 1)/an], where a(n-1) is -5 and an is 2. So we have, -[a(n - 1)/an] = -(-5/2) = 5/2 Thus the sum of the roots is 5/2.
What is the pattern in 1 6 3 8 5 10?
One possible answer, based on polynomial functions is Un = (8n5 - 140n4 + 920n3 - 2800n2 + 3887n - 1860)/15 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Is the square root of x plus 2 a polynomial?
No. by definition, the polynomial should contain an integer as exponent and square root 1/2 is not an integer.
