Quadratic Functions
Let a, b, and c be real number with a ≠ 0. The function f(x) = ax2 + bx = c is called a quadratic function.
The graph of a quadratic function is a special type of U-shaped curve that is called a parabola.
All parabolas are symmetric with respect to a line called the axis of symmetry, or simply the axis of the parabola.
The point where the axis intersects the parabola is called the vertex.

Quadratic Functions
If a >0, then the graph opens upward.
If a < 0, then the graph opens downward.

SECTION 2Polynomial Functions of Higher Degree
![Page 8: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Polynomial Functions
Let n be a nonnegative integer and let an, an-1, ….. …a2, a1, a0 be real numbers with an ≠ 0.
The function f(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 +…… a2x2 + a1x + a0 is called a polynomial function of x with degree n.

Characteristics of Polynomial Functions
1. The graph is continuous.
2. The graph has only smooth rounded turns.
![Page 10: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sketching Power Functions
Polynomials with the simplest graphs are monomial of the form f(x) = xn and are referred to as power functions.
REMEMBER ODD and EVEN FUNCTIONS1. Even : f(-x) = f(x) and symmetric to y-axis
2. Odd: f(-x) = - f(x) and symmetric to origin
![Page 11: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Leading Coefficient Test
1. When n is odd: If the leading coefficient is positive (an >0), the
graph falls to the left and rises to the right
2. When n is odd: If the leading coefficient is negative (an <0), the graph rises to the left and falls to the right
![Page 12: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 14: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Real Zeros of Polynomial Functions
If f is a polynomial function and a is a real number, the following statements are equivalent.
1. x = a is a zero of the function f2. x =a is a solution of the
polynomial equation f(x)=03. (x-a) is a factor of the polynomial
f(x)4. (a,0) is an x-intercept of the
graph of f
![Page 15: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repeated Zeros
A factor (x-a)k, k >0, yields a repeated zero x = a of multiplicity k.
1. If k is odd, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = a
2. If k is even, the graph touches the x-axis at x = a (it does not cross the x-axis)
![Page 16: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

4. f(x) = x5 - x
![Page 17: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SECTION 3Long Division of Polynomials
![Page 18: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Long Division Algorithm
If f(x) and d(x) are polynomials such that d(x) ≠ 0, and the degree of d(x) is less than or equal to the degree of f(x), there exist unique polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that:
f(x) = d(x) q(x) + r(x)
![Page 19: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EXAMPLE
Divide the following using long division.1. x3 -1 by x – 12. 2x4 + 4x3 – 5x2 + 3x -2 by x2 +2x – 3
Remember to use zero coefficients for missing terms
![Page 20: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Synthetic Division
Synthetic Division is simply a shortcut for long division, but you still need to use 0 for the coefficient of any missing terms.
EXAMPLE Divide x4 – 10x2 – 2x +4 by x + 3 -3 1 0 -10 -2 4 -3 9 3 -3 1 -3 -1 1 1 = x3 – 3x2 -
x + 1 R 1

The Remainder and Factor Theorems
Remainder Theorem:If a polynomial f(x) is divided by x-k,
then the remainder is r = f(k) EXAMPLEEvaluate f(x) = 3x3 + 8x2 + 5x – 7 at
x = -2 Using synthetic division you get r = -
9, therefore,f(-2) = -9
![Page 22: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Remainder and Factor Theorems
Factor Theorem:A polynomial f(x) has a factor (x-k) if and only if
f(k) =0 EXAMPLEShow that (x-2) and ( x+3) are factors of
f(x) = 2x4 + 7x3 -4x2 -27x – 18Using synthetic division with x-2 and then again
with x+3 you get f(x) = (x-2)(x+3)(2x+3)(x+1) implying 4 real
zeros
![Page 23: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Uses of the Remainder in Synthetic Division
The remainder r, obtained in the synthetic division of f(x) by x-k, provides the following information:
1. The remainder r gives the value of f at x=k. That is, r= f(k)
2. If r=0, (x-k) is a factor of f(x) 3. If r=0, (k,0) is an x-intercept of the
graph of f

The Imaginary Unit i
Because some quadratic equations have no real solutions, mathematicians created an expanded system of numbers using the imaginary unit i, defined as i = -1
i2 = -1 i3 = -i
i4 = 1
![Page 26: CHAPTER 2 Polynomial and Rational Functions. SECTION 1 Quadratic Functions](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050704/56649de75503460f94ae1862/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Complex Numbers
The set of complex numbers is obtained by adding real numbers to real multiples of the imaginary unit. Each complex number can be written in the standard form a + bi . If b = 0, then a + bi = a is a real number. If b ≠ 0, the number a + bi is called an imaginary number. A number of the form bi, where b ≠ 0, is called a pure imaginary number.

Some Properties of Complex Numbers
1. a + bi = c+ di if and only if a=c and b=d.
2. (a + bi) + (c+ di) = (a +c) + (b + d)i
3. (a + bi) – (c+ di) = (a – c) + (b – d)i
4. – (a + bi) = – a – bi5. (a + bi ) + (– a – bi) = 0 + 0i = 0

Complex Conjugates
a + bi and a –bi are complex conjugates
(a + bi) (a –bi ) = a2 + b2

Slant Asymptotes
Consider a rational function whose denominator is of degree 1 or greater. If the degree of the numerator is exactly one more than the degree of the denominator, the graph of the function has a slant (or oblique) asymptote.
