Unit 1: Polynomial Functions Lesson 1: Properties of Polynomial Functions What is a Polynomial Function? Any function of the form: The degree of the function is n (the largest exponent) an is called the leading coefficient a0 is called the constant term Example 1 Consider the function Determine: (i) The degree (ii) The leading coefficient (iii) The constant term Example 1: Solution The degree is 4 The leading coefficient is -3 The constant term is 1 Common Examples Name Equation Linear Quadratic Cubic Quartic Quintic Intercepts of Polynomial Functions The point where a
