Algebra 2 Review Chapter 6 Name ____________________ 1. Write each polynomial in standard form. Then classify it by degree and by number of terms. a. 3x 7 x 9 x 2 4 b. 2 x ( x 3)( x 2) 4 2. The table shows data on the number of employees that a small company had from 1975 to 2000. Let 0 represent 1975. Year # of Employees 1975 = year 0 60 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 65 70 60 55 64 a. Find a cubic model for the set of values. b. Use your model to estimate the number of employees in 1998. Solve each equation by graphing. Where necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. 3. x3 4 x2 5 0 4. x 3 4 x x 2 3 5. Write a polynomial function with rational coefficients in standard form with the given zeros. a. 1,1,2 b. -3,0,0,1 c. -2,-2,-2 6. For each function, find the zeros and state the multiplicity of multiple zeros. a. y ( x 4)( x 5)3 b. 3s 2 ( s 4)3 ( s 2)2 ( s 1) 7. Solve each equation. Find the zeros by factoring. a.
