Document Summary

**note for this unit you must know how x^1 to x^5 looks. A function that consists of real numbers, where the exponent is a whole number. It"s still a polynomial if the x isn"t affected by the square root / fraction. Ex: 1/x is not a polynomial, but x/1 is. X - 2 is not a polynomial but 2 - x is. Leading coefficient: the coefficient of the largest degree. (including the +/- sign). End behaviour: same as the largest base exponent. (make sure it"s opposite if it"s negative). Special case: y = 2x(2x - 5)(3x +2) multiply the coefficients add the exponents and then do the same for the y = 12x^3. First look at the leading coefficient, if it"s sign is positive it follows the left rows pattern and vica versa. The linear ones (based on the degree) follow the top ones and the other ones like cubic follow the second line.
