    This document contains notes from a math class discussing polynomials and functions. It provides an example of determining the degree of a polynomial relation, and reminds the reader to use the vertical line test to determine if a graph represents a valid function. The notes suggest choosing your own practice problem to calculate the degree of a polynomial expression, and provides an example answer for the expression 4x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 1, which has a degree of 3. The document emphasizes remembering to apply the vertical line test by drawing vertical lines on graphs to check if any line intersects the curve at more than one point, which would mean it is not a valid function.

    Things to Remember Choose Your Own Question

    Question: Calculate the degree


    We were going the right of the following polynomial
    direction we could possibly expression: 4x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 1.
    figure this out if we put our
    Answer: The degree of the
    minda together and complete
    polynomial expression 4x^3 +
    the whole answer. The vertical 2x^2 - 5x + 1 is 3. This is
    line test is also very because the highest exponent on
    important because it helps the variable x in the expression
    determine if a graph is 3.
    represents a valid function. I
    learned we can use it by
    simply drawing vertical lines
    2

    on the graph. If any line


    intersects the curve at more
    than one point, it's not a
    function. If all lines intersect
    at most once, it's a function.
    This test ensures clarity and
    uniqueness in mathematical
    relationships.
