Polynomial Function

Factoring polynomials involves using various methods like factoring out the greatest common factor, using the sum and difference of squares pattern, or grouping terms to break down expressions into their prime factors. The document discusses these factoring methods and provides examples of applying each technique to factor polynomials of different forms like the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and products of binomials. It also defines the different types of polynomial functions based on their degree.

A polynomial is an expression of
one or more algebraic terms
each of which consists of a
constant multiplied by one or
more variable raised to a
nonnegative integral power.
A polynomial function is a function of the form

where is a nonnegative integer , are real numbers called


coefficients (numbers that appear in each term) , is the
leading term, is the leading coefficient, and is the
constant term (number without a variable).

The highest power of the variable of is known as its degree.


There are various types of polynomial functions based on the
degree of the polynomial. The most common types are:

 Zero Polynomial Function (degree 0):


 Linear Polynomial Function (degree 1):
 Quadratic Polynomial Function (degree 2):
 Cubic Polynomial Function (degree 3):

 Quartic Polynomial Function (degree 4):


where are constants.
Other than , a polynomial function can be
written in different ways, like the following:

Types of Special Products
1. Square of Binomial
This special product results into Perfect Square
Trinomial (PST).

Example:
2. Product of Sum and Difference of Two
Terms

This results to Difference of Two Squares.

Example:
3. Square of Trinomial
This would result to six (6) terms.

Example:
4. Product of Binomials
The result is a General Trinomial. F.O.I.L
(First, Outer, Inner, Last) method is usually
used.

Example:
5. Product of Binomial and Trinomial
The result is a Sum or Difference of Two
Cubes.
