Polynomial Functions Terminology
Across
- 1. The highest or relative highest (y) value of a function.
- 6. Where a polynomial crosses the y-axis, where the function has an input value of 0 (x=0).
- 8. The number that is multiplied to the variable with the highest power
- 10. The cartesian plane (graph) is divided into four of these.
- 11. The characteristic of where a function 'starts' and 'ends'. In which quadrants can the 'ends' of the function be found?
- 12. This term in a polynomial function has no variable attached
- 13. All of the possible output values of the function, everything that 'y' can be.
- 14. All of the possible permitted input values for a function, everything that 'x' can be.
Down
- 2. Where a polynomial crosses the x-axis, where the function has an output value of 0 (y=0).
- 3. The lowest or relative lowest (y) value of a function.
- 4. This is the point on a function where it changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa.
- 5. A function that consists of one or more terms, which are separate by + or - signs.
- 7. In a polynomial function this is determined by the value of the highest exponent in the function.
- 9. All degree two polynomials (quadratic) have this shape.
