240 Polynomial Functions End Behavior of functions f(x) =ax n , n even. Suppose f(x) =ax n where a ≠ 0 is a real number and n is an even natural number. The end behavior of the graph of y = f(x) matches one of the following: ˆ for a>0, as x →−∞, f(x) →∞and as x →∞, f(x) →∞ ˆ for a0 a0, as x →−∞, f(x) →−∞and as x →∞, f(x) →∞ ˆ for a0 a
3.1 Graphs of Polynomials 241 Despite having different end behavior, all functions of the form f(x) =ax n for natural numbers n share two properties which help distinguish them from other animals in the algebra zoo: they are continuous and smooth. While these concepts are formally defined using Calculus, 14 informally, graphs of continuous functions have no ‘breaks’ or ‘holes’ in them, and the graphs of smooth functions have no ‘sharp turns’. It turns out that these traits are preserved when functions are added together, so general polynomial functions inherit these qualities. Below we find the graph of a function which is neither smooth nor continuous, and to its right we have a graph of a polynomial, for comparison. The function whose graph appears on the left fails to be continuous where it has a ‘break’ or ‘hole’ in the graph; everywhere else, the function is continuous. The function is continuous at the ‘corner’ and the ‘cusp’, but we consider these ‘sharp turns’, so these are places where the function fails to be smooth. Apart from these four places, the function is smooth and continuous. Polynomial functions are smooth and continuous everywhere, as exhibited in the graph on the right. ‘corner’ ‘cusp’ ‘hole’ ‘break’ Pathologies not found on graphs of polynomials The graph of a polynomial The notion of smoothness is what tells us graphically that, for example, f(x) =|x|, whose graph is the characteristic ‘∨’ shape, cannot be a polynomial. The notion of continuity is what allowed us to construct the sign diagram for quadratic inequalities as we did in Section 2.4. This last result is formalized in the following theorem. Theorem 3.1. The Intermediate Value Theorem (Zero Version): Suppose f is a continuous function on an interval containing x = a and x = b with a
