§ 6. 1 : Power Functions and Inverses LEQ: What are the similarities and differences between odd and even functions? LEQ: What are the general shapes of functions? Sketch a graph of y = (x + 1)2 + 2 and its inverse. Determine if each graph depicts a function.

Functions like y = x 4 and w =. 084 C 3 are power functions. Power function – A function with the form y = axn, where a≠ 0 and n is a positive integer. Even functions – Have the y-axis as the axis of symmetry Odd functions – have the origin as the point of symmetry. *A graph has point symmetry if there is a ½ turn (rotation of 180 deg) that maps the graph onto itself.

Try these Graph each function. Describe its symmetry. Tell whether it is even, odd, or neither. 1) Y = x 5 2) Y = Ix. I 3) Y = 2 x + 3 4) Y = 2 x 4

Inverses To undo a square, you square root. To unto a cube, you _____. To undo an exponent of 4, you ____. You can use a radical symbol or a rational exponent to indicate roots.

Ex. y = 5√ 32 index (the root you want) y = 321/5 The principal root is the positive root. Ex. 4√ 81 = +9, -9 +9 principal root Rational Exponent Property bm/n = n√bm

Extraneous Solution A solution is extraneous if: -It satisfies the end equation -It does NOT satisfy the initial equation *To eliminate extraneous solutions, you should check each possible solution in the original equation.

Ex Solve √x = x – 6 and discard extraneous solutions. (√x)2 = (x – 6)2 x = x 2 – 12 x + 36 0 = x 2 – 13 x + 36 0 = (x – 4)(x – 9) x = 4 or x = 9

Check solutions Solution x = 4 √x = x – 6 √ 4 = 4 – 6 2 ≠ -2 Not a solution 4 is extraneous Solution x = 9 √x = x – 6 √ 9 = 9 – 6 3=3 9 is the only solution

T. O. T. D. What are the similarities and differences between odd and even functions? Create an example problem that would have an extraneous answer.

Concept III (6. 3): Polynomial and Linear Functions Lesson Essential Question (LEQ): Why is it useful to work with polynomials in factored form? Vocabulary: Relative maximum, relative minimum, multiplicity, multiple zeros QCC’S: #15, 19, 29

§ 6. 3: Polynomials & Linear Functions Sometimes its more useful to work with polynomials in factored form: Ex. X 3 + 6 x 2 + 11 x + 6 = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) How could you prove these are factors of the polynomial?

Maximum & Minimum? In many polynomial functions, there is no absolute maximum or minimum. However, there may be a relative maximum or relative minimum. (compared to the points around them, they are the maximum or minimum)

If a function is in factored form, you can use the zero product property to find the values that will make the function equal zero. Ex. F(x) = (x – 1)(x + 2)(x – 4) For what values of x will f(x) = 0? 1, -2, 4

Factor Theorem The expression (x – a) is a linear factor of a polynomial if and only if the value “a” is a zero of the related polynomial function. Ex. Graph y = x 2 + 3 x – 4 It crosses the x-axis at 1. Thus, (x – 1) is a factor of the polynomial. Also (x + 4) is a factor of the polynomial.

What the answer tells you: In the previous example, (x – 1) and (x + 4) were the factors of the polynomial. Therefore: 1) -4 is a solution of x 2 + 3 x – 4 2) -4 is an x-intercept of y = x 2 + 3 x – 4 3) -4 is a zero of y = x 2 + 3 x – 4 4) x + 4 is a factor of y = x 2 + 3 x - 4

Ex) Determine the zeros of the function y = (x – 2)(x + 1)(x + 3) x = 2, -1, -3 Ex) Write four equivalent statements about one of the solutions of the equation x 2 – 4 x + 3 = 0 Factors (x – 3)(x – 4)

Multiplicity When a linear factor (zero point) is repeated, it is called a “multiple zero”. Ex. Write a polynomial function with zeros at -2, 3, 3. Factors : (x + 2)(x – 3) Standard form: x 3 – 4 x 2 – 3 x + 18 Because (x – 3) is repeated 2 x, the function has a multiplicity of 2 at 3.

What are the zeros and multiplicity? 1) Y = (x – 3)2(x - 5) multiplicity of 2 for 3 multiplicity of 1 for 5 2) Y = (x – 7)(x + 8)2 multiplicity of 1 for 7 multiplicity of 2 for -8

Write a polynomial function in standard form with the given zeros: 1) -1, 0, 4 factors: (x + 1)(x)(x – 4) y = x 3 – 3 x 2 – 4 x 2) -2, 5 factors: (x + 2)(x – 5) y = x 3 – x 2 -16 x - 20

Summary Questions: Think-Pair-Share • Why is it useful to work with polynomials in factored form? • How do you find a relative maximum or minimum? • Give an example of a function that has a multiplicity of 3. • If you are given the zeros of a function, how do you find the standard form of the equation?

No animal, once frozen solid (i. e. , water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as 'supercooling. ' If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.

§ 6. 5: Dividing Polynomials LEQ: How do you divide polynomials? Divide this…. 7222 by 46 Old Mnemonic “Does Mc. Donalds Sell Burgers”

Dividing Polynomials The zeros of a polynomial are not always real numbers. Ex. Y = 2 x 3 + 4 x 2 + 2 x + 4 You can use polynomial long division to find imaginary zeros. Dividing polynomials is similar to long division!

Examples 1) Divide x 2 + 3 x – 12 by x – 2 x + 5 – 2/x – 2 2) Divide x 2 + 5 x + 6 by x + 2 x+3 3) Divide 2 x 2 – 19 x + 24 by x – 8. 2 x - 3

Synthetic Division When you are dividing by a linear factor, you can use a simplified process (synthetic division). Linear factor – graphed, it would be a line. In synthetic division -omit all variables & exponents -reverse the sign of the divisor so you can add

Steps: 1) Reverse the sign of the divisor. Use 0 as a “place holder” for any missing term. 2) Bring down first coefficient. 3) Multiply the first coefficient by the divisor & write under next coefficient. 4) Add numbers, bring down. 5) Repeat steps 1 -4 until done.

Examples (Synthetic Division) 1) Divide x 2 + 3 x – 12 by x – 2 x + 5 – 2/x – 2 2) Divide x 2 + 5 x + 6 by x + 2 x+3 3) Divide 2 x 2 – 19 x + 24 by x – 8. 2 x - 3
