- 3. For any function f(x), if f(a) = 0, then a is a zero of the function
- 6. Method for dividing polynomials; Steps include: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down
- 8. A monomial or the sum of monomials
- 11. Every polynomial equation with degree greater than zero has at least one root in the set of complex numbers
- 14. The factored form of a polynomial means it is written as a product of its factors
- 15. A function is even if f(-x) = f(x); that is the graph has fold symmetry
- 16. A function that can be described by an equation of the form P(x) = a0xn + a1xn-1 + … + an-2x2 + an-1x + an ,
- 17. The method of dividing a polynomial by one of its roots written in factored form; for example a polynomial divided by a binomial using long division
- 19. A point on the graph of a function is called a relative minimum is no other nearby points have a lesser y-coordinate
- 20. A root that repeats more than 1 time
Down
- 1. A simpler method than long division to divide a polynomial by a binomial
- 2. A point on the graph of a function is called a relative maximum is no other nearby points have a greater y-coordinate
- 4. The set of all inputs (x-values)
- 5. The average rate of change of a function between two points measures, on average, how much the y value changes with respect to the x value. The average rate of change between two points is calculated as the slope of the straight line which connects the two points.
- 7. a0 , a1 , a2 , … an are real numbers, a0 is not zero, and n is a nonnegative integer
- 9. An interval is a range of numbers between two given numbers and includes all of the real numbers between those two numbers
- 10. A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x); that is the graph has rotational symmetry about the origin
- 12. The set of all outputs (y-values)
- 13. A solution of an equation
- 18. The x-coordinate of the point at which a graph crosses the x-axis
