1 Math Analysis Chapter Notes: Polynomial and Rational Functions Day 1: Section -1 Comple Numbers; Sections - Quadratic Functions -1: Comple Numbers After completing section -1 you should be able to do the following: 1. Add and subtract comple numbers. Multiply comple numbers. Divide comple numbers 4. Perform Operations with square roots of negative numbers. Solve quadratic equations with comple imaginary solutions In order to take a square root of a negative number mathematicians invented an epanded system of numbers called comple numbers. The Imaginary Unit i The imaginary unit is defined as i 1, where i = 1 Comple Numbers The set of all numbers in the form a + bi with real numbers a and b, and i, the imaginary unit are called the set of comple numbers. The real number a is called the real part and the real number b is called the imaginary part of the comple number a + bi. In order to add comple numbers you must add like terms. Practice: In 1-, Add or subtract as indicated: 1. ( i) + ( + i). ( + 6i) (1 i) In order to multiply comple numbers it is done using the distributive property and the FOIL method. After completing multiplication, we replace any occurrences of i with 1. Practice: In 1-, Find the products: 1. 7i( 9i). ( + 4i)(6 7i) Conjugate of a Comple Number The comple conjugate of the number a + bi is a bi, and the comple conjugate of a bi is a + bi. The multiplication of comple conjugates gives a real number: (a + bi)(a bi) = a + b (a bi)(a + bi) = a + b Math Analysis Notes 1

2 In order to divide comple numbers is really a process of multiplying by the comple conjugate of the denominator. Remember that you want to keep the epression the same value so you must multiply by 1, so what ever you do to the bottom of a fraction you must do to the top of the fraction. Practice: In 1-, Divide and epress the result in standard form: 1. 4 i 4 i. 7 i 4i Roots of Negative Numbers Principal Square Root of a Negative Number For any positive real number b, the principal square root of the negative number b is defined by: b i b When performing operations with square roots of negative numbers, begin by epressin all square roots in terms of i. The perform the indicated operations. Practice: In 1-4, Perform the indicated operations and write the result in standard form Quadratic Equations with Comple Imaginary Solutions A quadratic equation can be epressed in the general form a + b + c = 0 and can be solved using the quadratic formula: b b 4ac a When solving quadratic equations that have comple imaginary solutions you must epress the final answer in standard form a + bi. Math Analysis Notes

3 Practice: Solve using the quadratic formula: + = 0 - Quadratic Functions After completing section - you should be able to do the following: 1. Use transformations of the common function y = to determine the characteristics of parabolas.. Graph parabolas (quadratic equations). Determine quadratic function s minimum or maimum value Graph Quadratic Functions in Standard Form The standard Form of a Quadratic Function The quadratic function f ( ) a( h) k is in standard form. The graph of f is a parabola whose verte is at the point (h, k). The parabola is symmetric with respect to the line = h. If a > 0, the parabola opens upward; if a < 0, the parabola opens downward. Steps for changing from general form to standard form of a quadratic function. 1. Move constant term to other side of equal sign.. Factor out a if it is not 1.. Complete the square, remember what you add to one side you must add to the other. 4. Factor the side to a square of a binomial.. Resolve for y and the quadratic should now be in standard form: y = a( h) + k Practice: in 1-, Rewrite the quadratic into standard form: 1. f() = f() = Graphing Quadratic Functions with Equations in Standard Form 1. Determine whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If a > 0, it opens upward. If a < 0, it opens downward.. Determine the verte of the parabola. The verte (h, k).. Find any -intercepts by solving f() = 0. The function s real zeros are the -intercepts. 4. Find the y-intercepts by evaluating f(0).. Plot the intercepts, the verte and additional points as necessary. Connect these points with a smooth curve that is shaped line a u. called a parabola. Math Analysis Notes

4 Practice: Graph the quadratic function f() = + +. Find the verte and intercepts to sketch the graph. Give the equation of the parabola s ais of symmetry. Use the graph to determine the function s domain and range (use interval notation). Minimum and Maimum Values of Quadratic Functions. If a parabola opens downward a < 0, then the quadratic function has a maimum at the verte (h, k). If a parabola opens upward a > 0, then the quadratic functions has a minimum at the verte (h, k). Practice: In 1-, (a) Determine without graphing, whether the function has a minimum value or a maimum value. (b) Find the order pair were the minimum value or maimum values occur. (c) Identify the function s domain and its range without graphing. 1. f() = 1 1. f() = Math Analysis Notes 4

Determine left and right side end behavior. Use factoring to find zeros of polynomial functions 4. Identify zeros and their multiplicities. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem 6. Understand the relationship between degree and turning points. 7. Graph polynomial functions Definition of a Polynomial Function A polynomial function is a function of the form: 1 ( ) n n n f an an 1 an... a1 a0 The eponents are all whole numbers, and the coefficients are all real numbers. Eamples of Polynomials: Degree Type Standard Form 0 Constant f ( ) a0 eample: f() = 10 1 Linear f ( ) a1 a0 eample: f() = + Quadratic 1 1 f ( ) a a1 a0 eample: f ( ) 4 Cubic f ( ) a a a a eample: f() = Quartic 4 f ( ) a a a a a eample: A polynomial may not have in the denominator of the epression, also all eponents on the variable must be positive whole numbers. Practice: 1-4, Determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, identify the degree. 1. h( ) 7. 1 f( ) 7. 1 g( ) 4. k ( ) 8 8 Graphs of Polynomials are Smooth and Continuous Graphs Polynomial functions of degree or higher have graphs that are smooth and continuous. By smooth, we mean that the graphs contain only rounded curves with no sharp corners. By continuous, we mean that the graphs have no breaks and can be drawn without lifting your pencil from the rectangular coordinate system. Math Analysis Notes 6

7 Smooth rounded corner Graphs of Polynomials Functions Smooth rounded corner Not Graphs of Polynomials Functions Sharp Corner Smooth rounded corner Smooth rounded corner Smooth rounded corner Discontinuous: a break in the graph Sharp Corner End Behavior of Graphs of Polynomial Functions Odd-degree polynomial functions have graphs with opposite behavior at each end. Even-degree polynomial functions have graphs with the same behavior at each end. The Leading Coefficient Test The coefficient on the term with the largest eponent on the variable is called the leading coefficient. If the largest eponent is an odd number: If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph falls to the left and rises to the right. Rises Right Rises Left If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph rises to the left and falls to the right. Falls Left Falls Right Odd Degree; positive leading coefficient Odd Degree; negative leading coefficient Math Analysis Notes 7

8 The Leading Coefficient Test (continued) The coefficient on the term with the largest eponent on the variable is called the leading coefficient. If the largest eponent is an even number: Falls Right Rises Left Rises Right Falls Left If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises to the left and rises to the right. If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls to the left and falls to the right. Even Degree; positive leading coefficient Even Degree; negative leading coefficient Practice: In 1-4, Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the end behavior of the graph of each function: 1. f() = +. f() = f() = f() = 6 Zeros of Polynomial Functions A zero of a polynomial function is found by setting the functions equal to zero and solving the resulting equation. Zeros are also called solutions and roots. If a zero occurs at the same -value an even number of times the graph of the function at that point touches the -ais and turns around. If a zero occurs at the same -value an odd number of times the graph of the function at that point crosses the -ais. Math Analysis Notes 8

9 Zero occurs an odd number of times at =, because it crosses the -ais. Zero occurs an odd number of times at = 4, because it crosses the -ais. Zero occurs an even number of times at = 1, because it turns around at that point. Practice: In 1-4, Find the zeros for each polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the -ais or touches the -ais and turns around, at each zero. 1. f() = ( 4) ( + ). f() = 4( )( + ). f() = + 4. f() = The Intermediate Value Theorem for Polynomials Let f be a polynomial function with real coefficients. If f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then there is at least one value of c between a and b for which f(c) = 0. Therefore, the equation f() = 0 has at least one real root between a and b. Math Analysis Notes 9

10 Practice: In 1-, Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that each polynomial has a real zero between the given integers. 1. f() = 1; between 1 and. f() = between and Graphing a Polynomial Function. 1. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graph s end behavior.. Find the -intercepts by setting f() = 0 and solving the resulting polynomial equation. If the same zero occurs an even number of times, the graph touches the -ais at that -value and turns around. If the same zero occurs an odd number of times, the graph crosses the -ais at that -value.. Find the y-intercept by computing f(0). 4. Use symmetry, if applicable, to help draw the graph. y-ais of symmetry: f( ) = f() (even function) Origin symmetry: f( ) = f() (odd function). Use the fact that the maimum number of turning points of the graphs is the degree minus 1 to check whether it is drawn correctly. Practice: In 1-, (a) Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graph s end behavior. (b) Find the - intercepts. State whether the graph crosses the -ais, or touches the -ais and turns around, at each intercept. (c) Find the y-intercept. (d) Determine whether the graph has y-ais of symmetry, origin symmetry, or neither. (e) If necessary, find a few additional points and graph the function. 1. f() = f() = ( 1) ( + ) Math Analysis Notes 10

11 Day 1: Section -4 Dividing Polynomials; Remainder and Factor Theorems; Section - Zeros of Polynomial Functions. After completing section -4 you should be able to do the following: 1. Use long division to divide polynomials. Use synthetic division to divide polynomials. Evaluate a polynomial using the Remainder Theorem Long Division of Polynomials 1. Arrange the terms of both the dividend and the divisor in descending powers of the variable.. Divide the first term in the dividend by the first term in the divisor. The result is the first term of the quotient.. Multiply every term in the divisor by the first term in the quotient. Write the resulting product beneath the dividend with like terms lined up. 4. Subtract the product for the dividend.. Bring down the net term in the original dividend and write it net to the remainder to form a new dividend. 6. Use this new epression as the dividend and repeat this process until the remainder can no longer be divided. This will occur when the degree of the remainder (the highest eponent on a variable in the remainder) is less than the degree of the divisor. Practice In 1-, divide using long division. State the quotient, q() and the remainder, r(). 1. (1 + 4) ( ) Math Analysis Notes 11

12 Synthetic Division: Use only when divisor is a linear epression. To divide a polynomial by c Eample Arrange the polynomial in descending powers, with a 0 coefficient for any missing term.. Write c for the divisor, c. To the right, Write the coefficients of the dividend.. Write the leading coefficient of the dividend on the bottom row. Bring down 6 4. Multiply c (in this case ) times the value just written on the bottom row. Write the product 1 in the net column in the second row. 6 6 Multiply by : 6 = 1. Add the values in this new column, writing the sum in the bottom row. 1 Add 1 6. Repeat this process of multiplications and additions until all columns are filled in. 1 4 Add 6 1 Multiply by : 1= 4 7. Use the numbers in the last row to write the Quotient, plus the remainder above the divisor. The degree of the first term of the quotient is one less than the degree of the first term of the dividend. The final value in this row is the remainder Written Form The last row of the synthetic division Math Analysis Notes 1

Begin by listing all possible rational zeros.. Use division to show that the remainder is zero. Remember that The Remainder Theorem states the remainder is the value of the function. Math Analysis Notes 1

14 Practice: Find all the zeros of f() = + Properties of a Polynomial Equation. 1. Counting the number of roots, zeros, or solutions separately, it should equal the degree (highest eponent on the variable) of the polynomial.. If the polynomial has one comple imaginary root a + bi then it will also have it will also have the conjugate comple imaginary root a bi as a root also. Comple imaginary roots, if they eist, occur in conjugate pairs. Practice: Solve: = 0 The Linear Factorization Theorem 1 If ( ) n n f a a a n... a a where n 1 and a n 0, then n n1 n 1 0 f ( ) a c c... c n 1 Where c 1, c,.c n are the zeros of the function.

15 Day 16: Section -6 Rational Functions and Their Graphs After completing section -6 you should be able to do the following: 1. Find the domain of rational functions. Identify vertical asymptotes. Identify horizontal asymptotes 4. Identify slant asymptotes. Graph rational functions Finding the Domain of a Rational Function. Remember there are two things that restrict the domain and they are radical signs on variables and variables in the denominator of fractions. 1. If you have even indeed radicals set what is under the radical greater than or equal to zero and solve the resulting inequality for the domain.. If you have variables in the denominator set the denominator not equal to zero and sove the resulting inequality for the domain. Practice: in 1-, Find the domain of each rational function. Write answer in interval notation f( ). g ( ). h ( ) 4 16 Vertical Asymptotes of Rational Functions A vertical asymptote is a vertical line in the graph of the rational function that the graph will never intersect. The graph of a rational function may have no vertical asymptote, one vertical asymptote, or several vertical asymptote. We will use dashed lines to show asymptotes. Graph the common function f( ) 1. Step 1 State Domain The value of the domain that is restricted is the value of the asymptote(s). If the domain is all real numbers then the graph of the rational function has no vertical asymptote. Step Graph the vertical asymptote as a dashed line. Step Choose -values smaller and larger than each vertical asymptote Step 4 Connect points with smooth curve, make sure you do not intersect the vertical asymptote(s). Math Analysis Notes 1

16 Rational Function Rational Function are quotients of polynomial functions: p ( ) f( ). q ( ) Locating Vertical Asymptotes. p ( ) If f( ) is a rational function in which p() and q() have no factors and a is a zero of q(), the q ( ) denominator, then = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. The vertical asymptote is related to the domain. A vertical asymptote will eist at each restriction on the domain of the rational function as long as the factor that produced the restriction is not a common factor with the numerator. Practice: In 1-, Find the vertical asymptotes, if any, of the graph of each rational function: f( ). f( ). f( ) Horizontal Asymptotes of Rational Functions If a function has a value that that is restricted in it s domain, the rational function may be a y-value the that is also restricted. If a rational function has a restriction in it s y-value we call that y-value a horizontal asymptote at y = b, where b equals the y-value that is restricted. Rules for finding Horizontal Asymptotes: p ( ) If f( ) is the rational function then: q ( ) 1. The H.A. is y = 0 if the degree of q() is larger than p().. The H.A. is the ratio of the leading coefficients if the degree of q() is equal to the degree of p().. There is no H.A. if the degree of p() is larger than q(). Practice: Find the horizontal asymptote, if any, of the graph of each rational function: f( ). f( ). f( ) Math Analysis Notes 16

17 Graphing Rational Functions 1. Find vertical asymptote(s) and draw as a dashed vertical line on graph. Find horizontal asymptote and draw as a dashed horizontal line on graph. Choose points smaller and larger than the for each vertical asymptote. 4. Plot points from step connecting with a smooth curve making sure not to intersect the vertical or horizontal asymptotes. Practice: In 1-4, graph each rational function 1. f( ) 1 1. f( ) Math Analysis Notes 17

18 . f( ) 9 Slant Asymptotes. We have seen that if the degree of the numerator is larger than the denominator then the rational function does not have a horizontal asymptote. Over it may still have y-values that are restricted. The graph of a rational function has a slant asymptote if the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator. The slant asymptote is the equation y = the quotient of the division of the rational function. 7 Practice: Find the slant asymptote of f( ) Practice: Graph the rational function: f( ) 1 Math Analysis Notes 18

If 00 feet are required to stop a car traveling 60 miles per hour, how many feet are required to stop a car traveling 100 miles per hour? Inverse Variation If a situation is described by an equation in the form where k is a nonzero constant, we say that y varies inversely as. Practice: k y 1.
