Polynomial Function
05
Since it is a function, x-values cannot be repeated. There
can be repeated y-values but not repeated x-values in a
function.
Vertical line
test
If a vertical line drawn anywhere on the graph of a
relation only intersects the graph at one point, then that
graph represents a function. If a vertical line can intersect
the graph at two or more points, then the graph does not
represent a function.

Degree and Sign of the
Leading Coefficient
The degree is the highest
exponent in the polynomial in this example, the
degree is 2, and the
The leading coefficient is the leading coefficient is
numerical coefficient of the 3 and its sign is

For each polynomial function below, identify whether it is

odd or even degree function, give the sign of leading
coefficient and state its end behavior in two ways: using
symbols, and describing whether it is increasing or
decreasing.
