4.7 Polynomial identities and models
Unit 4 · Polynomials and polynomial functions
Ideas in this lesson
Build a polynomial from zeros
Multiply the zero factors and use another point to determine the leading scale.
Finite differences
Use equally spaced inputs. A degree-n polynomial has constant nonzero nth differences.
A volume model
Multiply the three dimensions, simplify the polynomial, and respect the physical domain.
