✓ Illustrates polynomial functions.
Illustrate Polynomial Functions
Polynomial function is a function which involves only nonnegative integer powers only. It may be
written in the form of f(x) or y. Consider the first set of examples below.
𝑓 𝑥 =−𝑥3+5𝑥2+6𝑥−1 𝑓 𝑥 =−𝑥3+5𝑥-2+6𝑥−1
Based from the definition of a polynomial function, powers must be non-negative or positive only. The
first example is a polynomial function while the second is not because it has negative powers.

For better understanding of the terms in polynomial functions, consider the example: 𝒚=−𝟐𝒙3+𝒙2−𝟗𝒙−𝟓.
Leading Term – basically it is the term that contains the highest power of x. In the given example, -2x3
is the leading term.
Leading Coefficient – it is the numerical coefficient of the leading term. In the given example, -2 is the
leading coefficient.
Constant term – it is a term which does not contain any variable. In the given example, -5 is the
constant term.
Degree of the Polynomial – Just simply get the highest powers among the terms of x. In the given
example, 3 is the degree of the polynomial function.
How to write polynomial functions in standard form?
𝑦 = 3𝑥 + 5𝑥3 − 2𝑥2 + 𝑥4 + 6
✓ Simply rearrange the terms in decreasing powers of x. The first step to follow is to identify the
leading term. From the given function, the leading term is the highest among the terms of x. That
is, x4.
✓ After that, we identify the next terms with powers less than 4. These terms are 5x3, -2x2, 3x, and
6.
✓ Take note, a constant term is always written at the end. Therefore, the standard form is 𝑦 = 𝑥4 +
5𝑥3 −2𝑥2 +3𝑥 +6.

Week 2
✓ Understand, describe and interpret the graphs of polynomial functions.
✓ Solves problems involving polynomial functions.
Polynomial Functions
Polynomial functions may be written in factored form and as a product of irreducible factors. A
polynomial is said to have irreducible factors when it can no longer be factored using coefficients that
are real numbers.
Consider the example below:
What is the factored form of y = x3 + 2x2 – 2x – 3?
You can use synthetic division in finding the factors of the polynomial function. List down the possible
factors of the constant term “-3” which are 1, -1, 3, and -3. To determine the factors, you have to get a
remainder of 0 if you use synthetic division method.
From the 4 possible factors, only “-1” gives a remainder of 0. If you will divide (x3 + 2x2 – 2x – 3) by
(x + 1), the quotient is x2 + x – 3. You cannot factor x2 + x – 3 simply because it is irreducible /
unfactorable.
So, the factored form of y = x3 + 2x2 – 2x – 3 is (x + 1) (x2 + x – 3).
In graphing functions, x and y intercepts are important. These are points which intersect the coordinate
axes. How do we determine the intercepts of the graph? See example below.
Find the intercepts of the graph of y = x3 + 6x2 + 3x – 10. To determine the x-intercept/s, set y = 0. It would
be easy if we will use the factored form which is y = (x + 5) (x + 2) (x – 1).
0 = (x + 5) (x + 2) (x – 1) Equate y to 0.
After that, equate each factor to 0.
x + 5 = 0 x = -5, x + 2 = 0 x = -2, x – 1 = 0 x=1
The x-intercepts are -5, -2, and 1. With this, the graph will pass through (-5, 0), (-2, 0), and (1, 0).
In finding the y-intercept, simply set x = 0.
y = (x + 5)(x + 2)(x – 1)
y = (0 + 5)(0 + 2)(0 – 1) Substitute x = 0.
y = (5)(2)(-1) Multiply.
y = -10
The y-intercept is -10. Thus, the graph will also pass through (0, -10).

Getting the intercepts is not enough to determine the sketch of the graph. We need to consider the use
of table of values to obtain other points.
Let us use the example above which is y = (x + 5) (x + 2) (x – 1). To get the values of y, substitute the
assigned values of x below. For easy reference, list down the answers in ordered pairs.

x -4 -1 0
Y
Below are the solutions in getting the y-values.

If x = -4, then If x = -1, then If x = 0, then

y = (x+5) (x+2) (x–1) y = (x+5) (x+2) (x–1) y = (x+5) (x+2) (x–1)
y = (-4+5) (-4+2) (-4–1) y = (-1+5) (-1+2) (-1–1) y = (0+5) (0+2) (0–1)
y = (1) (-2) (-5) y = (4) (1) (-2) y = (5) (2) (-1)
y = 10 y = -8 y = -10
Other points of the graph of the polynomial function are (-4, 10), (-1, -8), and (0, -10).

In graphing polynomial functions, you may consider the use of the Leading Coefficient Test. This
test will help you to determine the end behaviors (left-hand and right hand) of the graph of polynomial
functions. Make sure to write the polynomial function in standard form. Otherwise, LCT will be
incorrect and most importantly the graph.
Types of Graph of Polynomial Functions using the Leading Coefficient Test

Using y = x3 + 6x2 + 3x – 10, let us identify the leading coefficient, degree, end behaviors of the
graph.
The leading coefficient is 1 and the degree is 3 which is an odd. For the end behaviors of the graph, it
falls to the left and rises to the right.

Week 3
✓ Derives inductively the relations among chords, arcs, central angles and
inscribes angles.
Chords, Arcs, Central Angles and Inscribed Angles
A circle is the set of all points that are fixed from a point called the center.
In naming a circle we use its center. In the figure given, the name of the
circle is O because that is the center.
A radius is a line segment from the center to any point around the circle.
Two or more radius is called radii.

A diameter is a line segment that passes through the center and whose endpoints are on the circle.
Also called as the longest chord.
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints are on the circle. Unlike diameter, it does not pass
through the center of the circle.

An arc is a part of a circle. The symbol for arc is . One complete rotation of a circle is equivalent to
360°. Arcs measurement are expressed in degrees like angles. In naming arcs, two endpoints and
another point on the arc. There are three types of arc namely semicircle, minor arc, and major arc.
Consider the figure below.

An angle is a figure formed by two non-collinear rays. We name angle using the vertex.

In circles, we can form the following angles:

✓ A central angle is an angle formed by two rays whose vertex is the center of the circle.
✓ An inscribed angle is an angle formed whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides contain
the chords of the circle.
✓ An intercepted arc lies in the inner portion of an inscribed angle and whose endpoints is on the
angle. Also, the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc.
 Inscribed Angle
Central Angle
In naming an angle, the letter representing the
The vertex of the angle is Point A.
vertex should be written at the middle.
So, we can also name it as ∠A. Thus, we can only name it in two ways ∠DOG or
∠GOD.

Degree Measure of Arcs and Angles

Take note: The sum of all the central angles in a circle is 360°.

✓ In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their
corresponding central angles are congruent.

✓ In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their
corresponding chords are congruent.

✓ In a circle, a diameter bisects a chord and an arc with the same endpoints if and only if it is
perpendicular to the chord.
 ✓ In a circle, if an angle is inscribed to it, then half the measure of the intercepted arc is the
measure of the inscribed angle.

✓ In a circle, the inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are equal.

✓ In a circle, if an angle inscribed to it intercepts a semicircle, it forms a right angle which

measures exactly 90°.

✓ An inscribed figure is drawn inside a polygon. While, a circumscribed figure is drawn outside a
polygon.
✓ In a circle, if a quadrilateral is inscribed to it, then its opposite angles are supplementary.
Supplementary angles are pairs of angles whose sum is 180°. There are two pairs of
supplementary angles in a quadrilateral.

Week 5
✓ Illustrates secants, tangents, segments, and sector of a circle.
Sector and a Segments of a Circle
✓ A sector is like a slice of a pizza. It may be defined as a part of a circle enclosed by two radii
and an arc.

✓ A segment of a circle is the region bounded by an arc and the segment joining its endpoints.
Segments of a circle is different from sectors. If you cut a slice of pizza in a shape of triangle,
the portion cut off is like a crust of pizza.

Tangents and a Secant of a Circle

✓ If a line intersects a circle in exactly one point, then it is tangent line. The intersection point of
the circle and the tangent line is called point of tangency. A tangent line does not pass through
the interior of any given circle.

✓ When a line is tangent to two circles, it is considered as common tangents. There are two types
of common tangents namely common internal tangents and common external tangents.
✓ Common internal tangents are tangent lines that intersects segments joining the centers of
two circles.
 ✓ Common external tangents are tangent lines that do not intersect segments joining the centers
of two circles.

✓ In a circle, if a line intersects at exactly two points is called a secant line. Also, a secant line
contains chord of a circle. If a secant line intersects a circle in three points, then it intersects a
diameter.

Segments of Intersecting Chords and a Tangent

✓ Intersecting chords are two chords of the same circle that intersects a particular or sometimes
at the center. If two chords intersect at the center, then these chords are diameters of the given
circle.

✓ A tangent segment is a line segment that touches a circle at one point in particular.
✓ A secant segment is a line segment whose one endpoint is on the circle while the other endpoint
is outside the circle known as external secant segment.

✓ Applies the distance formula to prove some geometric properties.
Distance Formula

✓ The distance between any two point on a number line can be determined by the absolute value
of the difference between their coordinates.
