Polynomial Graphs Polynomials are a more general function than a quadratic and allow for higher powers that are still whole numbers. In the previous unit you have learned about rational functions. If we have a function with 2 inputs to create 1 output we can graph in a 3 dimensional graph of x y z.
The V is typical of most absolute value equations with linear terms.
This property is explored interactively using an applet. A linear function is a special type of a more general class of functions. In mathematics some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own namesThis is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. Functions and Their Graphs Linear Functions and Slope.
