Unit 2: Polynomials

Question 1

Zero Product Property

Answer 1

For any real numbers A and B, if AB = 0, then A = 0 or B = 0, or both A = 0 and B = 0.

Question 2

Zero Product Property

Answer 2

The zero product property states that if the product of two real numbers is zero, then either one, or both, of those numbers must be zero.

For any real numbers A and B, if AB = 0, then A = 0 or B = 0, or both A = 0 and B = 0.

Question 3

Roots

Answer 3

The solutions to polynomial equations.

Question 4

Polynomial Function

Answer 4

A polynomial function is a function in which the function rule is a polynomial in one variable, such as f(x)=x2−x−6.

Question 5

Zero of a Function

Answer 5

A zero of a function is an input that makes the output equal to 0.
It is a root of the equation f(x)=0.
The zeros are also the x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
