In this section, we will go over some pointers on how to successfully take powers and roots of a number. We will also continue our practice with the order of operations, remembering that as long as there are no parentheses, exponents always come before all other operations. We will see that taking a power of a number comes up in probability.

When a number is raised to the second power, it is said to be squared. When a number is raised to the third power, it is said to be cubed. When a number is raised to the power of 4 or higher, we simply say that that number is raised to that particular power.

To find where the function intersects the x-axis, set f(x)=0 and solve the equation for x.

In this section, our focus shifts to the interior. There are two important areas of concentration: the local maxima and minima of the polynomial, and the location of the x-intercepts or zeros of the polynomial. In this section we concentrate on finding the zeros of the polynomial.

How long does it take the object to hit the ground? (Hint: The height is 0 when the object hits the ground.)
