Did you answer each item correctly? Do you remember when an
E
expression is a polynomial? We defined a related concept below.
P
A polynomial function is a function of the form
P  x   an x n
E
n 1 n 2
 a n 1x  a n 2x  ...  a1x  a 0 , an  0,
where n is a nonnegative integer, a0 , a 1, ..., an are real numbers called
D
n
coefficients, an x is the leading term, an is the leading coefficient,
and a0 is the constant term.
The terms of a polynomial may be written in any order. However, if

they are written in decreasing powers of x , we say the polynomial function is
in standard form.
Other than P ( x ), a polynomial function may also be denoted by f ( x ).
Sometimes, a polynomial function is represented by a set P of ordered pairs
( x,y ). Thus, a polynomial function can be written in different ways, like the
following.

Polynomials may also be written in factored form and as a product of

irreducible factors, that is, a factor that can no longer be factored using
coefficients that are real numbers. Here are some examples.

In this section, you need to revisit the lessons and your knowledge
on evaluating polynomials, factoring polynomials, solving polynomial

topics will help you sketch the graph of polynomial functions manually.
E
You may also use graphing utilities/tools in order to have a clearer view
and a more convenient way of describing the features of the graph. Also,
you will focus on polynomial functions of degree 3 and higher, since
P
graphing linear and quadratic functions were already taught in previous
grade levels. Learning to graph polynomial functions requires your

appreciation of its behavior and other properties.

Activity 4:
Factor each polynomial completely using any method. Enjoy working with
your seatmate using the Think-Pair-Share strategy.

5. 2x 4 + 7 x 3 – 4 x 2 – 27 x – 18
Did you get the answers correctly? What method(s) did you use? Now,
do the same with polynomial functions. Write each of the following polynomial
functions in factored form:

10. y  2 x 4  7 x 3  4 x 2  27x  18
The preceding task is very important for you since it has something to
do with the x-intercepts of a graph. These are the x -values when y = 0,
Y
thus, the point(s) where the graph intersects the x -axis can be determined.
P
To recall the relationship between factors and x -intercepts, consider
these examples:
O
3
a. Find the intercepts of y  x  4 x 2  x  6 .
Solution:
C
To find the x -intercept/s, set y = 0. Use the factored form. That is,
D
y = x 3 – 4 x 2 + x + 6
y = ( x + 1)( x – 2)( x – 3) Factor completely.
0 = ( x + 1)( x – 2)( x – 3) Equate y to 0.
E
P
x + 1 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 or x – 3 = 0 Equate each factor to 0
x = –1 x = 2 x = 3 to determine x.
E
The x -intercepts are –1, 2, and 3. This means the graph will pass
through (-1, 0), (2, 0), and (3, 0).
D Finding the y -intercept is more straightforward. Simply set x = 0

in the given polynomial. That is,
y = x 3 – 4 x 2 + x + 6
y = 03 – 4(0)2 + 0 + 6
y = 6
The y -intercept is 6. This means the graph will also pass through (0,6).
109
4
b. Find the intercepts of y  x  6 x 3  x 2  6 x
Solution:
For the x -intercept(s), find x when y = 0. Use the factored form.
That is,
y = x 4 + 6 x 3 – x 2 – 6 x
Factor completely.
y = x ( x + 6)( x + 1)( x – 1)
0 = x ( x + 6)( x + 1)( x – 1) Equate y to 0.
Y
x = 0 or x + 6 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0 Equate each factor to
P
x = –6 x = –1 x = 1 0 to determine x.
The x -intercepts are -6, -1, 0, and 1. This means the graph will pass
O
through (-6,0), (-1,0), (0,0), and (1,0).
Again, finding the y -intercept simply requires us to set x = 0 in
C
the given polynomial. That is,
4 3 2
y  x  6x  x  6 x
4 3 2
y  (0 )  6(0 )  (0 )  6(0)
D
y  0
E
The y -intercept is 0. This means the graph will pass also through (0,0).
You have been provided illustrative examples of solving for the x - and
P
y - intercepts, an important step in graphing a polynomial function. Remember,
these intercepts are used to determine the points where the graph intersects
E
or touches the x -axis and the y -axis. But these points are not sufficient to
draw the graph of polynomial functions. Enjoy as you learn by performing the
next activities.
D
Activity 5:
Determine the intercepts of the graphs of the following polynomial functions:
1. y = x 3 + x 2 – 12 x
2. y = ( x – 2)( x – 1)( x + 3)
3. y = 2 x 4 + 8 x 3 + 4 x 2 – 8 x – 6
4. y = – x 4 + 16
5. y = x 5 + 10 x 3 – 9 x
You have learned how to find the intercepts of a polynomial function.

You will discover more properties as you go through the next activities.

In this activity, you evaluated a function at given values of x . Notice that
some of the given x -values are less than the least x -intercept, some are between
two x -intercepts, and some are greater than the greatest x  intercept. For
example, in number 1, the x -intercepts are -4, -2, 1, and 3. The value -5 is
used as x -value less than -4; -3, 0, and 2 are between two x -intercepts; and 4
is used as x -value greater than 3. Why do you think we should consider
them?

In the next activity, you will describe the behavior of the graph of a
polynomial function relative to the x -axis.

Now, this table may be transformed into a simpler one that will instantly
help you in locating the curve. We call this the table of signs.
D
The roots of the polynomial function y = ( x + 4)( x + 2)( x – 1)( x – 3) are
x = –4, –2, 1, and 3. These are the only values of x where the graph will cross
the x -axis. These roots partition the number line into intervals. Test values are
then chosen from within each interval.
112
The table of signs and the rough sketch of the graph of this function
can now be constructed, as shown below.

Congratulations! You have now illustrated The Leading Coefficient
Test. You should have realized that this test can help you determine the end
behaviors of the graph of a polynomial function as x increases or decreases
without bound.
Recall that you have already learned two properties of the graph of
polynomial functions; namely, the intercepts which can be obtained from the
Rational Root Theorem, and the end behaviors which can be identified using
the Leading Coefficient Test. Another helpful strategy is to determine whether
the graph crosses or is tangent to the x -axis at each x -intercept. This strategy
Y
involves the concept of multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function.
Multiplicity tells how many times a particular number is a zero or root for the
given polynomial.
P
The next activity will help you understand the relationship between
multiplicity of a root and whether a graph crosses or is tangent to the x -axis.

Questions:

b. What do you notice about the graph when it passes through a root of
odd multiplicity?
This activity extends what you learned when using a table of signs to
graph a polynomial function. When the graph crosses the x -axis, it means the
graph changes from positive to negative or vice versa. But if the graph is
Y
tangent to the x -axis, it means that the graph is either positive on both sides
of the root, or negative on both sides of the root.
P
In the next activity, you will consider the number of turning points of the
graph of a polynomial function. The turning points of a graph occur when the
function changes from decreasing to increasing or from increasing to

Arcs of a Circle
An arc is a part of a circle. The symbol for arc is . A semicircle is

an arc with a measure equal to one-half the circumference of a circle. It is
named by using the two endpoints and another point on the arc.
Example: The curve from point N to point Z is an C
arc. It is part of O and is named as
arc NZ or NZ . Other arcs of O are
CN , CZ , CZN , CNZ , and NCZ .
Y
O
If mCNZ is one-half the circumference N
of O, then it is a semicircle.
P
A minor arc is an arc of the circle that
Z
measures less than a semicircle. It is named usually
O
by using the two endpoints of the arc. N
C
Examples: JN , NE , and JE
A major arc is an arc of a circle that measures A

greater than a semicircle. It is named by using the two U
D
endpoints and another point on the arc. J
E
E
Examples: JEN , JNE , and EJN
P
Degree Measure of an Arc
1. The degree measure of a minor arc is the measure of the
E
central angle which intercepts the arc.
Example: GEO is a central angle. It intercepts E at
D
points G and O. The measure of GO is equal
to the measure of GEO. If mGEO  118,
then mGO = 118. O
2. The degree measure of a major arc is equal to 360 minus

the measure of the minor arc with the same endpoints. E
G
Example: If mGO = 118, then mOMG = 360 – mGO.
That is, mOMG = 360 – 118 = 242.
M
Answer: mOMG = 242
3. The degree measure of a semicircle is 180 .

Inscribed Angles and Intercepted Arcs
P
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose
sides contain chords of the circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an
inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arc
O
of the angle.
L
C
T

Examples:

D
A O M
Figure 1
E
Figure 2 Figure 3
In Figure 1, LAP is an inscribed angle and its intercepted arc is LP .
P
The center of the circle is in the interior of the angle.
In Figure 2, TOP is an inscribed angle and its intercepted arc is TP .
E
One side of the angle is the diameter of the circle.
In Figure 3, CG is an inscribed angle and its intercepted arc is CM .
D
The center of the circle is in the exterior of the angle.
Theorems on Inscribed Angles
1. If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then the measure of the angle equals

one-half the measure of its intercepted arc (or the measure of the
intercepted arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle).
Note: The theorem has three cases and the proof of each case is given as
an exercise in Activity 8 and Activity 9. A
Example: In the figure on the right,  ACT is

an inscribed angle and AT is its
intercepted arc. C
If mAT = 120, then m ACT = 60.
T
165
2. If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent circles) intercept congruent
arcs or the same arc, then the angles are congruent.
Example 1: In Figure 1 below, PIO and PLO intercept PO. Since

PIO and PLO intercept the same arc, the two
angles, then, are congruent.

D
right angle.

Distance between Two Points
The distance between two points is always nonnegative. It is positive

when the two points are different, and zero if the points are the same. If P and
Q are two points, then the distance from P to Q is the same as the distance
from Q to P . That is, PQ = QP .
Consider two points that are aligned horizontally or vertically on the

coordinate plane. The horizontal distance between these points is the
absolute value of the difference of their x -coordinates. Likewise, the vertical
Y
distance between these points is the absolute value of the difference of their
y -coordinates.
P

Points A and B are on the same vertical line. So the

simplified to AB  3  5 or  .
234
The Distance Formula
The distance between two points, whether or not they are aligned
horizontally or vertically, can be determined using the distance formula.
Consider the points P and Q whose coordinates are ( x 1, y 1) and
( x 2, y 2), respectively. The distance d between these points can be determined

The distance between A and B is 4 5 units or

The distance formula has many applications in real life. In particular, it

can be used to find the distance between two objects or places.
Example 3: A map showing the locations of different municipalities

and cities is drawn on a coordinate plane. Each unit on
the coordinate plane is equivalent to 6 kilometers.

Using the Distance Formula in Proving Geometric Properties
Many geometric properties can be proven by using a coordinate plane.

A proof that uses figures on a coordinate plane to prove geometric properties
is called a coordinate proof .
To prove geometric properties using the methods of coordinate

geometry, consider the following guidelines for placing figures on a coordinate
plane.
Y
1. Use the origin as vertex or center of a figure.
2. Place at least one side of a polygon on an axis.
P
3. If possible, keep the figure within the first quadrant.
4. Use coordinates that make computations simple and easy.
Sometimes, using coordinates that are multiples of two would make
O
the computation easier.
In some coordinate proofs, the Distance Formula is applied.

Example: Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are
congruent using the methods of coordinate geometry.

P
BD  a 2  b 2
