A polynomial function is a function in the form


𝑷(𝒙) = 𝒂𝒏𝒙𝒏 + 𝒂𝒏−𝟏𝒙𝒏−𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏−𝟐𝒙𝒏−𝟐 + ⋯+ 𝒂𝟏𝒙𝟏 + 𝒂𝟎,
where 𝑛 is a nonnegative integer, n as a positive integer implies that:
a. n is not negative
b. n is not zero
c. n is not a fraction
d. n is not a radical, and
e. n is not imaginary

Use the given polynomial functions to complete the table.

Sub-topic: Graphs of Polynomial Functions

Solving for the x- and y- intercepts is an important step in graphing a polynomial


function. These intercepts are used to determine the points where the graph intersects or
touches the x-axis and the y-axis.
To find the x-intercept of a polynomial function:
a. Factor the polynomial completely.
b. Let y be equal to zero.
c. Equate each factor to zero and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept:
a. Let x be equal to zero and simplify.

Determine the intercepts of the graphs of the following polynomial functions:


1. y = (x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 5)
Solution:
y = x3 + 10x2 + 31x + 30
y = (x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 5)
0 = (x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 5)
Equate each factor to zero, and solve for x:
x+2 = 0 x+3 = 0 x+5 = 0
x = -2 x = -3 x = -5

Let x = 0.
y = (0 + 2)(0 + 3)(0 + 5)
y = 30
x – intercepts: -2, -3, -5
y – intercept: 30
Determine the intercepts of the graphs of the following polynomial functions:

1. P(x) = x2 + 8x + 15
2. P(x) = x3 – 2x2 – 4x + 8
3. P(x) = x4 – 2x2 + 1
4. P(x) = (x + 2)(x + 5)(x – 3)(x – 4)

5. P(x) = x(x – 2 )(x + 4)(x – 1)

Determine the intercepts of the polynomial functions represented by the following graphs:

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the following polynomial functions:

1. y = x3 + 3x2 – x – 3
2. y = x3 – 7x + 6
3. y = x4 – x2 + 2x3 – 2x
4. y = x3 – 4x2 + x + 6
