Q2 - LESSON 1
OBJECTIVES:
1. Define polynomial functions.
2. Determine the degree, leading
term and constant term of a
polynomial.
3. Determine the intercepts of the
graphs of the polynomial functions.
A polynomial is an algebraic
expression where the exponent of
the variable is a positive number or
zero.
There are no variables in the
denominator or under a radical sign.
