Polynomial Functions: Properties and Factoring Worksheet

1.

Which of the following are polynomials?

I) f(x) = x^4+x

II) f(x) = x^2+x*sin(x)

III) f(x) = x+2*sin(2)

2. Use factoring to find a solution of the following equation: 2x^2+8x = x^2+2x-8. (Remember that if one side of the equation equals zero, and the other side of the equation is a product, then at least one of the parts of the product must equal zero. For example, if 0 = x(3-x), then x must be 0 or (3-x) must be 0.)
