Answers Rated A+ | 2025/2026 Guide
Names for classifying polynomials by degrees
- Correct Answer –
0 - constant
1 - linear
2 - quadratic
3 - cubic
4 - quartic
5 - quintic
Names for classifying polynomials by number of terms
- Correct Answer –
1- monomial
2- binomial
3- trinomial
4+- polynomial
Characteristics of a polynomial
- Correct Answer - no fractional exponents
no negative exponents (no variables in denominator)
Standard form has terms listed from highest degree to lowest degree
, How does multiplicity shape a graph?
- Correct Answer - a zero with an even multiplicity with bounce/touch the
x-axis, while a zero with odd multiplicity will cross through the x-axis.
How to determine end behavior of a polynomial?
- Correct Answer - highest degree even -> left & right end behaviors
match
highest degree odd -> left & right end behaviors are opposite
Leading coefficient positive -> right end behavior goes up (+infinity)
Leading coefficient negative -> right end behavior goes down (-infinity)
Oblique (slant) asymptotes occur...
- Correct Answer - formed when the degree of the numerator is larger
than the degree of the denominator (same rule as NO H.A.)
Convert radians to degrees - Correct Answer - multiply by 180/pi
Convert degrees to radians - Correct Answer - multiply by pi/180
arc length formula - Correct Answer - s=rθ
Trig Identities - Correct Answer - sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1
tan^2 x + 1 = sec^2 x
cot^2 x + 1 = csc^2 x
