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.

Korak po koraku
- x^{3} - 3 x
An expression in x. Here is what it does.
- x \left(x^{2} - 3\right)
Simplified form.
- x = 0, x = - \sqrt{3}, x = \sqrt{3}
Real zeros (where the graph crosses the axis).
- \frac{d}{dx} = 3 x^{2} - 3
Derivative (slope).

Vprašanja, ki jih ljudje sprašujejo
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.
