LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 10

UNIT I
Patterns and Algebra
Polynomial Functions

Performance Standard: Conduct systematically a

Mathematical investigation involving polynomial functions
in different fields.

Content Standard: Demonstrates understanding of key

concepts of polynomial function.

Learning Competencies:
1. Illustrate and graph polynomial functions.
2. Solve problems involving polynomial functions.

Polynomial functions are functions of a

single independent variable, in which
that variable can appear more than
once, raised to any integer power.
A polynomial is an algebraic expression built upon from constants and
variables using only addition, subtraction, or multiplication. If one of two variables
are involved, then, in addition to constants, the polynomial will consist of terms of
the form 𝑎𝑥 𝑛 or 𝑏𝑥 𝑚 𝑦 𝑛 , where a and b are real number are real number coefficients
and m and an are natural number exponents. In a polynomial, a variable cannot
appear (1) in a denominator, (2) as an exponent, or (3) within a radical sign.
A polynomial in x is an expression of the form;

𝑎𝑛 𝑥 𝑛 + … … … … . +𝑎2 𝑥 2 + 𝑎1 𝑥1 + 𝑎0

It can be used to model many real-world situations, including annuities and

volumes. For example, the volumes of the irregularly shaped buildings can be
modeled by polynomial functions.
