Answer the following questions using what you've learned from this unit. Write your
responses in the space provided.

For questions 1, determine whether each expression is a monomial. If so, determine

its degree.

1.
( (
a b
) (1 point) ) (1 point)

Monomial degree=8 not monomial

For questions 2 - 5, determine whether each expression is a polynomial.

2. (1 point)

polynomial

3. (1 point)

Not polynomial

4. (1 point)
polynomial

5. (1 point)
polynomial

For questions 6 - 8, write each polynomial in standard form. Name each polynomial
according to its degree and the number of terms. Then, state all the following
information for each function: degree, leading coefficient, and constant term.
6. (2 points)

Standard form: m(x)=x^2+x-1

Polynomial name: trinomial

Degree: 2

Leading coefficient: 1

Constant term: -1

7. (2 points)

Standard form: d(x)=x+pi

Polynomial name: binomial

Degree: 1

Leading coefficient: 1

Constant term: pi

8. (2 points)

Standard form: w(x)=11x^3-6x^2+2

Polynomial name: trinomial

Degree: 3

Leading coefficient: 11

Constant term: 2
For questions 9 - 10, evaluate the function at the indicated value, using the technique
indicated.

9. Find w(-3) using synthetic substitution: (2 points)

w(-3)= -349

10. Find m(5) using direct substitution: (2 points)

m(5)=29

For questions 11 - 12, divide. Use synthetic division, if possible.

11. (2 points)

x^4+8x^2+15x+25+51/x-2

12. (2 points)

Can not be divided with synthetic division

For question 13, list the possible zeros for the polynomial.

13. (1 point)

-5.20, -0.46, 3.16

For question 14, use Descartes' rule of signs to describe possible combinations of
roots for the polynomial.

14. (1 point)
h(x) has 1 sign change which means it has one positive root h(-x) has 2 sign
changes so it has 2 or 0 negative roots

For questions 15 - 17, solve each polynomial equation.

For questions 18 - 19, describe the end behavior of the graph for each function.

18. (1 point)

(x —> infinity, y —> infinity) , (x—> - infinity, y—> - infinity)

19. (1 point)

(x —> infinity, y —> - infinity) , (x—> - infinity, y—> infinity)

For questions 20 - 21, find the intercepts and relative extrema for the graph of each
function.

20. (1 point)

(-2,0), (1,0), (0,½) / RE=(1,0)min , (-1,1)max

21. (1 point)

X -intercept= (0,0),(5/2,0),(-5,0) / RE=y=66.0, 19.7

Asymptote: x=0 oblique: y=x/3 -4

Discontinuities: none

Intercept: (10,0) (2,0)

27. (2 points)
28. (2 points)
