2.  A term is a number, a variable of various degree, or a combination of a number and a variable of various degrees.  Nomial is Latin for term

3.  Expression consisting of one or more terms added together  Exponents must be positive integers

4.  Degree- Highest power in the polynomial  Marks the leading term  Leading Coefficient- Coefficient of the leading degree

5.  Quadratics- Polynomial is degree z  Parabola- Shapes of the quadratic graph  Vertex  Minimum point of parabola If function is positive f(x)=x 2  Maximum point of parabola If function is negative f(x)=-x 2

6.  Know the vertex  Know the line of symmetry- vertical line x=c  c= any number on the x axis  Know the zeros

7. Vertex: Strength (h,k) Roots: Okay Quadratic formula or convert to factored form Factored Form: y=(x-r 1 )(x-r 2 ) Vertex Form: y=a(x-h) 2 +k Roots: Okay Convert to general or factored form Roots: Strength X=r 1, r 2 Vertex: Weak Convert to general form (vertex form) Standard Form: y=ax 2 =bx=c

8.  x=a– is a zero of the function ‘f’  x=a– is a solution of the polynomial equation of ‘f(x)=0’  (x-a)– is a factor of the polynomial ‘f(x)’  (a,0)– is an x-intercept of the graph ‘f(x)’
