Unit 1 Assignment

1. Rod says that he is thinking of a one variable polynomial expression that has the
following characteristics:
a. has a degree of 4
b. has three terms
c. one of the terms has degree 1
d. one of the terms has a coefficient of -5
e. has a y-intercept at 10
What are two different polynomials that Rod could be thinking of? Are those the only
possible answers? Please include an explanation or rationale with your response.
[6 marks]

2. Create a question similar to #1 above, and provide a description of how a teacher could
check that a student’s response was correct. [3 marks]

3. Describe a function that has


a. a domain of {𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 | 2 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 10}, and
b. a range of {𝑦 ∈ 𝑅 | 5 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 10}.
Your function does not need to be a polynomial or rational function, and it can be
described algebraically, as a graph, or in another form. [4 marks]

4. Consider polynomial functions in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 𝑛 + 𝑥. Use at least three examples
to investigate the relationship between a, n, and the constant finite differences. Explain
the steps you took in your investigation and any conclusions you found. [6 marks]

5. Fully factor the following polynomials. Explain your thought process with your solution.
a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 3 − 25𝑥 2 + 53𝑥 − 30 [3 marks]
b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 − 4 [3 marks]

6. Sketch the graph of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = −(𝑥 − 4)(𝑥 + 1)2 (𝑥 − 5). Explain your thinking.
[4 marks]

7. Solve the equation 6𝑥 4 + 𝑥 = 5𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 . [4 marks]

8. Describe the transformations on the quartic function 𝑓(𝑥) = 14[3(𝑥 − 5)]4 − 45. [2
marks]

9. Determine the values of m and n for 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑚𝑥 3 + 12𝑥 2 + 𝑛𝑥 − 3 given that the
remainder when dividing by (𝑥 + 3) is zero, and when divided by (𝑥 − 2) the remainder
is 85. [6 marks]

10. Use algebra to determine whether the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 22𝑥 3 − 19𝑥 is even, odd, or
neither. [4 marks]

11. Graph the function 𝑓(𝑥) = −2𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 4 and its reciprocal on the same or separate
axes. Explain your thinking. [5 marks]

15. Consider a box with dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 11 cm. If all of its dimensions are
increased by x cm, what values of x will give a box with a volume between 300 cm3 and
900 cm3? [6 marks]
