Show solution
1.The path passes through the origin and has vertex at so To make the shot, would need to be about 4 but he doesn’t make it.
Show solution
1.is a power function because it can be written as The other functions are not power functions.
Show solution
2.As approaches positive or negative infinity, decreases without bound: as , because of the negative coefficient.
Show solution
5.The leading term is so it is a degree 3 polynomial. As approaches positive infinity, increases without bound; as approaches negative infinity, decreases without bound.
Show solution
8.The end behavior indicates an odd-degree polynomial function; there are 3 intercepts and 2 turning points, so the degree is odd and at least 3. Because of the end behavior, we know that the lead coefficient must be negative.
Show solution
9.The intercepts are and the y-intercept is and the graph has at most 2 turning points.
Show solution
2.The graph has a zero of –5 with multiplicity 3, a zero of –1 with multiplicity 2, and a zero of 3 with multiplicity 2.
Show solution
4.Because is a polynomial function and since is negative and is positive, there is at least one real zero between and
Show solution
6.The minimum occurs at approximately the point and the maximum occurs at approximately the point
Show solution
6.There must be 4, 2, or 0 positive real roots and 0 negative real roots. The graph shows that there are 2 positive real zeros and 0 negative real zeros.
Show solution
2.The function and the asymptotes are shifted 3 units right and 4 units down. As and as
The function is
Show solution
7.For the transformed reciprocal squared function, we find the rational form.
Because the numerator is the same degree as the denominator we know that as is the horizontal asymptote. Next, we set the denominator equal to zero, and find that the vertical asymptote is because as We then set the numerator equal to 0 and find the x-intercepts are at and Finally, we evaluate the function at 0 and find the y-intercept to be at
Show solution
8.Horizontal asymptote at Vertical asymptotes at y-intercept at
x-intercepts at is a zero with multiplicity 2, and the graph bounces off the x-axis at this point. is a single zero and the graph crosses the axis at this point.

Show solution
1.The coefficient of the power function is the real number that is multiplied by the variable raised to a power. The degree is the highest power appearing in the function.
Show solution
7.is a power function because it contains a variable base raised to a fixed power. It is also a polynomial, with all coefficients except one equal to zero.
3.4 Section Exercises
Show solution
1.The intercept is where the graph of the function crosses the axis, and the zero of the function is the input value for which
Show solution
3.If we evaluate the function at and at and the sign of the function value changes, then we know a zero exists between and

3.6 Section Exercises
Show solution
3.Rational zeros can be expressed as fractions whereas real zeros include irrational numbers.
Show solution
5.Polynomial functions can have repeated zeros, so the fact that number is a zero doesn’t preclude it being a zero again.
3.7 Section Exercises
Show solution
5.Yes. The numerator of the formula of the functions would have only complex roots and/or factors common to both the numerator and denominator.
