Step 3 Once you have modeled how to fill in the cause and effect graphic organizer, use an article that has text. structure containing cause and effect relationships to guide students in filling out a cause and effect organizer. using the information in the text.
Recall that f(3) can be found by evaluating the. function for x 3. A polynomial equation used to represent a function is called a. . For example, the equation f( x) 4 2 5 2 is a quadratic polynomial. function, and the equation p(x) 2x3 4x2 5x 7 is a cubic polynomial function. Other polynomial functions can be defined by the following general rule.
Quadratic functions are functions in which the 2nd power, or square, is the highest to which the unknown quantity or variable is raised.. The function y=x2 or f(x) = x2 is a quadratic function, and is the parent graph for all other quadratic functions. The shortcut to graphing the function f(x) = x2 is to start at the point (0, 0) (the origin) and mark the point, called the vertex. Note that the point (0, 0) is the vertex of the parent function only. In calculus, this point is called a critical point, and some pre-calculus teachers also use that terminology.
