WRITING polynomial function IN STANDARD FORM
Standard form means that you write the terms by decreasing exponents.
Examples P(x) = x 2 – x – 2 y = x 3 + 3x 2 – x + 3 f(x) = 2x 4 + 5x 3 – x 2 + 2x + 13
here’s what to do: 1. Write the term with the highest exponent first. 2. Write the terms with lower exponents in descending order. 3. Remember that a variable with no exponent has an understood exponent of 1. 4. A constant term always comes last.
Example 1: P(x) = 1 + 2x + x 5 − 4x 3 + 2x 4 + 5x 2 Example 2: f(x) = 2x 3 + x 2 − 3x 4 + 6x 6 + 5x
Example 3: P(x) = 5x + 9x 2 − 3x 4 Example 4: y = x(− 5 + x 2 )
Example 5: f(x) = −x(x − 4)( x + 4) Example 6: y = (x + 2)(x - 1)(3x + 2)
Try me f(x) = x 2 + 3x – 2x 4 + 8 y = 2x(x 2 + 3x) P(x) = x(x – 3)(x + 2)
Answer me 1) P(x) = -3x 3 + 5x – 2x 6 – 7x 2 + 12 2) P(x) = 9x + 2x 2 + 21 – x 3 3) y = -x(7x + x 2 – 13) 4) P (x ) = x 2 (x 2 + 5)(x – 5) 5) P (n ) = (2n + 1)(-3 + n)(n + 3 )
