Polynomial functions

Degree, end behaviour, zeros, turning points, and what the graph must look like.

A polynomial of degree n has at most n real zeros and at most n − 1 turning points, and its ends point where the leading term sends them. Factoring finds the zeros; the derivative finds the turning points. Type a polynomial as y = … to see all of it at once.

Krok za krokom

  1. x^{3} - 3 x

    An expression in x. Here is what it does.

  2. x \left(x^{2} - 3\right)

    Simplified form.

  3. x = 0, x = - \sqrt{3}, x = \sqrt{3}

    Real zeros (where the graph crosses the axis).

  4. \frac{d}{dx} = 3 x^{2} - 3

Otázky, ktoré ľudia kladú

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
