Algebra 2 Chapter 5

3. The maximum and minimum values of a function
6. A point on the graph of a function where no other nearby points have a greater y-coordinate
7. An equation in the form f(x)=ax to the b, where a and b are nonzero real numbers.
9. For any numbers a, b, and c, except for a=0, an equation that can be written in the form U to the 2 + U + C = 0, where U is some expression in x
11. The greatest degree of any term in the polynomial
14. The use of synthetic division to evaluate a function
15. The coefficient of the term with the highest degree.
16. Point at which a graph turns. The location of relative maxima or minima.

1. The behavior of the graph as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity
2. A method used to divide a polynomial by a binomial
4. The quotient when a polynomial is divided by one of its binomial factors
5. To rewrite an expression without parentheses or negative exponents
8. A polynomial that cannot be factored
10. where the coefficients represent real numbers, and a to the n is not zero and n is a non negative integer
12. A function that is represented by a polynomial equation
13. A point on the graph of a function where no other nearby points have a lesser y-coordinate
