How did you differentiate polynomial
equation and polynomial function?
Polynomial Function:
A polynomial function of degree n is a function defined
by f(x) = anx + an-1x + an-2x +… + a1x + a0 = 0, where,
n n-1 n-2
an ≠ 0, n is a nonnegative integer and the coefficients
a0,a1,…an are real numbers. The leading term is anx , a0 is
n
the constant term; a0,a1,…an are the coefficients, and an
is the leading coefficient.
Polynomial Function:
The function is also denoted as y = f(x), where x
is the input of the function and y is the value of
the function.
EXAMPLE
f(x) = anx + an-1x
n n-1
+ an-2x n-2
+… + a1x + a0
f(x) = 3x + 7x + x – 4x + 2x – 5.

EXAMPLE
f(x) = 3x + 7x + x – 4x + 2x – 5.

StANDARD FORM OF
Polynomial FUNCtION
The polynomial function is in standard form
when the terms are arranged from the highest
exponent down to the lowest.

YOUR TURN
Identify the degree, leading term, leading
coefficient, coefficients, constant term
APPLICATION
You went to the supermarket to buy foods for
yourself. You bought 5 apples and 1
watermelon, the price of the watermelon is
squared to the price of the apple. The store
gave you a 6 pesos discount since you paid using
your supermarket VIP card. Represent your total
cost using polynomial function.
QUIZ 1:
Write each polynomial function in standard form and
identify the degree, leading term, leading coefficient,
coefficients, and constant term.
1. f(x)= (x – 2)²(2x – 1)
2. f(x) = – 15 – x² – 17x + x³
3. y = 2x² + x³ – 6 – 5x
4. f(x) = 2x + 5x² + x³ – 8
