1. Read this section carefully
2. Write important words and information
Polynomials can be used to represent the motion of projectiles, the areas of regions, and the volumes of boxes. When
examining a set of data whose x-values form an arithmetic sequence, you can calculate the finite differences to find
the degree of a polynomial that will fit the data. When you know the degree of the polynomial, you can define a system
n n
of equations to solve for the coefficients. Polynomial equations can be written in several forms. The form anx +an1x
1 1
+...+a1x +a0 is called general form. Quadratic equations, which are 2nd-degree polynomial equations, can also be
written in vertex form or factored form, with each factor corresponding to a root of the equation. In a quadratic
equation, you can find the roots by using the quadratic formula.
There are the same numbers of roots as the degree of the polynomial. In some cases these roots may include imaginary
or complex numbers. The degree of a polynomial function determines the shape of its graph. By varying the
coefficients, you can change the relative sizes of these hills and valleys.

Exercises
1. Work Independently to solve the following problems
2. Anything that we dont finish in class, you will have to work on your
own
Possible Test Questions
1. Factor each expression completely.
3. Tell whether each equation is written in general form, vertex form, or factored form. Write each equation in the
other two forms, if possible.
