 What’s In
You have learned in the last module that to solve problems involving
polynomials, you must follow steps to have an easy solution.
Start this module by recalling your knowledge on the concept of polynomial
expressions.
 The word polynomial is derived from Greek words “poly” which means many
and “nominal” which means terms, so polynomial means many terms.
 Polynomials are composed of constants (numbers), variables (letters) and
exponents such as 2 in x2. The combination of numbers, variables and
exponents is called terms.
 Example:

2 x3 + x 2 +1 There are three (3) terms in this expression: 2 x3 , x 2∧1, where 1

is the constant, x is the variable and 3 and 2 are the exponents.
This knowledge will help you understand the formal definition of polynomial
function.

What’s New
Let’s explore!

Directions: Complete the table below. State your reason if it is not a polynomial.

8. x 3+ 2 x +1
9. −2 x−3+ x3
10. 1−4 x 2
Did you complete the table correctly? Do you remember when an expression
is a polynomial? A polynomial is an expression of one or more algebraic terms
each of which consists of a constant multiplied by one or more variable raised to a
nonnegative integral power.

7
 What Is It
A polynomial function is a function of the form

P ( x ) =an x n+ an−1 x n−1 +a n−2 x n−2+ …++a1 x+ a0, an≠ 0 ,

where n is a nonnegative integer , a 0 , a1 , … , an are real numbers called coefficients

(numbers that appear in each term) , a n x n is the leading term, a n is the leading
coefficient, and a 0 is the constant term (number without a variable). The highest
power of the variable of P ( x ) is known as its degree.

There are various types of polynomial functions based on the degree of the
polynomial. The most common types are:

 Zero Polynomial Function (degree 0): P ( x ) =a x 0=a

 Linear Polynomial Function (degree 1): P ( x ) =a x 1+ b=ax+b
 Quadratic Polynomial Function (degree 2): P ( x ) =a x 2+ bx+ c
 Cubic Polynomial Function (degree 3): P ( x ) =a x 3+ b x2 +cx + d
 Quartic Polynomial Function (degree 4): P ( x ) =a x 4 +b x 3 +c x 2 +dx +e
where a , b , c , d∧e are constants.

Other than P ( x ) , a polynomial function can be written in different ways,

like the following:
f ( x )=an x n +a n−1 x n−1+ an−2 xn−2 +…+ a1 x +a 0,
y=an x n + an−1 x n−1+ an−2 xn −2 +…+ a1 x +a 0,

 What’s In

A polynomial function is a function of the form

P ( x ) =an x n+ an−1 x n−1 +a n−2 x n−2+ …++a1 x+ a0, a n ≠ 0.

The terms of a polynomial may be written in any order. However, if

they are written in decreasing powers of x, then the polynomial function is in
standard form.
Before you proceed, try to recall the following.

What Is It

Writing Polynomial Function in Standard Form

When giving a final answer, you must write the polynomial function in
standard form. Standard form means that you write the terms by decreasing
exponents.

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.

Examples: Write the following polynomial functions in standard form.

2. f ( x )=5 x +9 x 2−3 x 8
Often, the polynomial function does not contain all of the exponents. You still
follow the same procedure listing the highest exponent first (8) then the next
(2) and finally the term with just a variable (understood exponent of 1).

3. y=x (x 2−5)
With a factored form of a polynomial function, you must find the product first.
In finding the product of a monomial and a binomial, recall the Distributive
Property.
Multiply the monomial to
the first term of the x ( x 2 ) =x1 +2=x 3
binomial
Multiply the monomial to
the second term of the x (−5 )=−5 x
binomial
Arrange the exponents in
descending order.
Therefore, the standard y=x 3−5 x
form is

4. f (x)=−x( x−4)( x + 4)
Use the special product, Sum and Difference of two terms, in answering this
function.
Get the product of the sum and ( x−4 ) ( x+ 4 )=x 2−16
 difference of two terms.
Multiply -x to the product. −x (x ¿¿ 2−16)=x 3 +16 x ¿
Thus, the polynomial
function in standard form f ( x )=x 3 +16 x .
becomes

23
Writing Polynomial Function in Factored Form

We will focus on polynomial functions of degree 3 and higher, since

linear and quadratic functions were already taught in previous grade levels.
The polynomial function must be completely factored.

Examples: Write the following polynomial functions in factored form.

1. y=64 x3 +125

This is of the form a 3+ b3 which is called the sum of cubes. The factored
form of a 3+ b3 is (a+ b)(a ¿ ¿ 2−ab+b 2).¿ To factor the polynomial function follow the
steps below:
Find a∧b
(a is the cube root of the first term) a=4 x
(b is the cube root of the second term) b=5
 Substitute the values of a and b in y= ( 4 x +5 ) [( 4 x) ¿ ¿ 2− ( 4 x ) (5)+ ( 5 )2 ]¿
(a+ b)(a ¿ ¿ 2−ab+b 2) ¿
So the factored form is y= ( 4 x +5 ) ¿ ¿)

2. y=3 x 3 +6 x 2+ 4 x +8

a c
This is of the form ax 3 +bx 2 +cx +d . This can be easily factored if = . To
b d
factor the polynomial function, follow the steps below:
Group the terms (ax ¿ ¿ 3+bx 2 )+(cx +d ) ¿ y=(3 x ¿ ¿3+ 6 x2 )+( 4 x+ 8)¿
Factor x 2 out of the first group of terms. y=x 2 (3 x +6)+( 4 x+ 8)
Factor the constants out of both groups. y=3 x 2 ( x +2)+ 4(x +2)
Add the two terms by adding the y=3 x 2 ( x +2)+ 4(x +2)
coefficients y=(3 x¿ ¿2+ 4)(x +2)¿
So, the factored form is y=(3 x¿ ¿2+ 4)(x +2)¿

24
3 2
3. y=45 x +18 x −5 x−2
This is of the form ax 3 +bx 2 +cx +d . Follow the steps below:
Group the terms (ax ¿ ¿ 3+bx 2 )+(cx +d ) ¿ y=(45 x ¿ ¿ 3+18 x 2)+(−5 x−2) ¿
Factor x 2 out of the first group of terms. y=x 2 ( 45 x+ 18 ) +(−5 x−2)
Factor the constants out of both groups. y=9 x 2 ( 5 x +2 )−(5 x+ 2)
Add the two terms by adding the y=9 x 2 ( 5 x +2 )−1(5 x +2)
coefficients y=(9 x ¿¿ 2−1)(5 x +2)¿
This can be further factored as a difference
of two squares y=(3 x+ 1)(3 x−1)(5 x+2)
So, the factored form is y=(3 x+ 1)(3 x−1)(5 x+2)

4. y=81 x 4 −16
This is of the form a 4−b 4. We can factor a difference of fourth powers
(and higher powers) by treating each term as the square of another base, using
the power to a power rule. Follow the steps below:
Treat a 4 as (a 2)2 and b 4 as (b 2)2
(a 2)2−(b2 )2 y=(9 x 2)2−(4 )2
It shows difference of two squares, factor it.
2
(a 2)2−( b2 ) =(a2 +b2 )(a2 −b2 ) y=(9 x ¿¿ 2+ 4)( 9 x 2−4)¿
This can be further factored as a difference
 of squares y=(9 x ¿¿ 2+ 4)(3 x +2)(3 x −2) ¿
So, the factored form is y=(9 x ¿¿ 2+ 4)(3 x +2)(3 x −2) ¿

5. y=x 4 −4 x2 −45
This is of the form ax 4 + bx2 +c . In similar manner, we can factor some
trinomials of degree four by treating x 4 as (a 2)2. Follow the steps below:
Treat a 4 as (a 2)2
( x 2)2−b(x ¿¿ 2)−c ¿ y=(x 2)2−4( x ¿¿ 2)−45¿
Let x 2=x , thus, it shows a quadratic
trinomial: ax 2 +bx +c y=x 2−4 x−45
Factor it: y=(x−9)( x +5)
2
Put it back. (Substitute x=x ) y=(x 2−9)( x 2+ 5)
This can be further factored as a difference
of squares y=(x +3)( x−3)( x2 +5)
So, the factored form is y=(x +3)( x−3)( x2 +5)

Summary

A polynomial function is a function of the form

P ( x ) =an x n+ an−1 x n−1 +a n−2 x n−2+ …++a1 x+ a0, an≠ 0 ,

where n is a nonnegative integer , a 0 , a1 , … , an are real numbers called

coefficients (numbers that appear in each term) , a n x n is the leading term

(has the highest degree), a n is the leading coefficient, and a 0 is the constant
term (number without a variable). The highest power of the variable of P ( x ) is
known as its degree.

When giving a final answer, you must write the polynomial function in
standard form. Standard form means that you write the terms by decreasing
exponents.

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.

In writing polynomial function in Factored Form, make sure that it is

factored completely. The following questions might help you to factor the
polynomial functions completely.
1. Is there a common factor?
2. Is there a difference of squares?
3. Is there a perfect square trinomial?
4. Is there an expression of the form x 2+ bx+ c ?
5. Are there factors of ac that add up to b?

1. y=343 x 3 +27
Find a∧b
(a is the cube root of the first term) a=7 x
(b is the cube root of the second b=3
term)
Substitute the values of a and b in
(a+ b)(a ¿ ¿ 2−ab+b 2) ¿ y= (7 x +3 ) [(7 x ) ¿ ¿ 2−2(7 x )(3)+ ( 3 )2]¿
So the factored form is y= (7 x +3 ) ¿ ¿)

Factor it:

Put it back. (Substitute x=x 2) y=(x 2−4 )( x2 −1)
¿( 9 xbe¿¿ 2+ 4)( x−4factored

This can further as a
difference of Two squares y=(x +2)(x −2)(x +1)( x−1)
So the factored form is y=(x +2)(x −2)(x +1)( x−1)
