1. Terminology of Polynomial Functions
Polynomial functions comprise various combinations of constants, variables, and exponents. Explore the terminology of polynomial functions, including words like coefficients, terms, and degree, then analyze a polynomial by putting it all together.
2. How to Evaluate a Polynomial in Function Notation
A polynomial is an algebraic expression that has more than one term and function notation is the way a function is written. In this lesson, explore how to evaluate or solve a polynomial in function notation.
3. Understanding Basic Polynomial Graphs
Understanding basic polynomial graphs requires knowing about their degrees and leading coefficients. Learn more about the implications of exponents and leading coefficients in polynomial graphs. Discover also how turning points are determined in graphing polynomials.
4. Finding Intervals of Polynomial Functions
Finding intervals of polynomial functions is an essential skill in precalculus. Define polynomial functions, explain how to find the solutions, discover how to find the intervals, and determine if the interval is positive or negative.
5. Short Run & Long Run Behavior of Polynomials: Definition & Examples
Polynomial functions are made up of terms composed of constants, variables, and exponents, and are extremely useful for a variety of reasons. Learn more about the short run and long run behavior of polynomials, study their definitions, and explore examples.
6. How to Graph Cubics, Quartics, Quintics and Beyond
Following the proper steps, the basic principles of graphing can be applied to cubics, quartics, quintics, and other polynomial functions. Learn more about basic graphing principles for polynomial functions, the importance of local maximums and minimums, and sketching for class on a graph through a detailed practice test question.
7. Pascal's Triangle: Definition and Use with Polynomials
Pascal's triangle is a number pattern that identifies the coefficients of polynomial expansions. Learn the definition of Pascal's triangle and explore examples of its polynomial uses.
8. The Binomial Theorem: Defining Expressions
The binomial theorem is a mathematical formula used to expand two-term expressions raised to any exponent. Explore this explanation defining what binomial theorem is, why binomial theorem is used, and examples of how to find the leading coefficient and exponents for each term.
9. Dewey Decimal System: Definition, History & Example
This lesson will explain the Dewey Decimal System. The Dewey Decimal System is used to categorize books by subject to make placing new books or locating existing books in the library possible. It is essential to understand how the books are numbered to be able to use the library effectively.
10. Isometric View: Definition & Examples
Isometric view is a type of alignment that gives drawn objects their depth. Learn the definition of isometric view and then discover how to draw objects using isometric view through examples.
