3. the number of times a specific zero (or x-intercept) of a polynomial occurs
4. a function in which more than one formula is used to define the output over different pieces of the domain.
5. the highest point on a graph or the largest value a function can take within a specific context
11. a number that remains fixed and doesn't change throughout an equation or problem
12. a simplified method of dividing polynomials, especially when the divisor is a linear binomial of the form x - a
14. the set of all possible input values (often represented by x) that a function can accept and produce a real number output.
15. the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce

1. an operation where two functions say f and g generate a new function say h in such a way that h(x) = g(f(x))
2. a property where an object or function exhibits a balance or regularity in its form or arrangement
