Step 3 Once you have modeled how to fill in the cause and effect graphic organizer, use an article that has text. structure containing cause and effect relationships to guide students in filling out a cause and effect organizer. using the information in the text.
Recall that f(3) can be found by evaluating the. function for x 3. A polynomial equation used to represent a function is called a. . For example, the equation f( x) 4 2 5 2 is a quadratic polynomial. function, and the equation p(x) 2x3 4x2 5x 7 is a cubic polynomial function. Other polynomial functions can be defined by the following general rule.
Polynomials in one variable are algebraic expressions that consist of terms in the form where n is a non-negative (i.e. positive or zero) integer and a is a real number and is called the coefficient of the term. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the largest exponent in the polynomial. Note that we will often drop the âin one variableâ part and just say polynomial. Here are examples of polynomials and their degrees. So, a polynomial doesnât have to contain all powers of x as we see in the first example.
