It’s nice to hear that from you. But

before anything else, class
secretary, kindly check the
attendance and mark all those who
are absent for today. Thank you! (class secretary will check the attendance)
B. Review
Before we proceed with the

discussion proper let’s have a recap.
During your first quarter, we have
discussed about polynomials.
A polynomial is an algebraic expression, or
Can anyone in the class define what
group of expressions separated by “+” and
is a polynomial?
“-“ signs, whose exponents of the variables
are non-negative integers
C. Motivation
Since you were able to

define what is a polynomial,
Let’s play a game called
FACT or BLUFF.
(Students will be raising their hands to

polynomial or not.

Excellent! Just remember that

polynomials have restrictions:
a.) no variables with positive
exponent should appear in the
denominator and no variable
with positive exponent should
appear in the numerator;
b.)variables should n ot appear
under radical sign; and
c.)variables should not have a
fractional exponent.
Try to also recall that

polynomials are also named Yes Ma’am, beause it has 1 term.
according to its
number of terms. Example 1 is
a monomial, right class?
Very good! how about It’s binomial, Ma’am.

Example 5, an expression
consisting of 2 terms?
Great! What about an

expression consisting of 3 It’s trinomial, Ma’am.

Now that you are able to

identify expressions which are
polynomials or not, Let us row
the boat as we discover new
learning.
Are you ready? We are ready, Ma’am!
D. Lesson Proper/ Discussion
What have you noticed in our first We identify a polynomials, Ma’am.

activity today?
Great! The idea you have in mind

just formulate our topic for today.
In this lesson, we will be
Illustrating Polynomial
Functions.
So, let us first define what is a

polynomial function.
A polynomial function is a function

of the form
n n −1 2
P( x )=a n x +an − 1 x +...+a2 x + a1 x +a 0
; where n is a non negative integer, x
is a variable and a n,a n− 1,…,a 2, a 1,
and a 0 are real numbers.
Polynomial functions make use of the

function notation like P(x) read as “P
of x”, f(x), g(x) and the like or
sometimes we use y equals a certain
Polynomial
In writing the standard form of

polynomial function, the highest
degree of terms will be written first
followed by the next degree and so on.
The exponent of the variable (or sum of the
exponents if there are more than one
variables) is the degree of the term. The
highest degree in a group of term is the
degree of the polynomial expression.
The term containing the highest exponent

is called the leading term . Meanwhile, the
real numbers in a polynomial function is
are called coefficients. The coefficient of
the leading term is called leading
coefficient
Presented in a table, we will write

polynomial functions in standard form
and determine the degree, leading
term, leading coefficient, and constant
of a polynomial function.

Any questions, Class?
None, Ma’am
Illustrations of polynomial functions
can also be seen in real-life objects.
(Answers of students may vary)
Since polynomials are used to describe
curve of various types, people use them
in real world to graph curves.
Engineers use polynomials to graph

curves of bridges.
(The following photos will be presented

to students in class)
In this illustration, roller coaster

designers may use polynomials to
describe the cruves in their rides.
Can you give other objects where

polynomial functions can be
represented?
(Answers of students may vary)
Excellent! Do you have any questions
regarding our discussion?
E. Application
None so far, Ma’am.
If you don’t have any questions,
let’s have an activity. You will be
paired with your seatmate. Student
A will construct his own example
of polynomial functions and then
Student B will try to determine the
parts of a polynomial function (the
degree, leading term, leading
coefficient, and constant of a
polynomial function), and vice
versa.
F. Generalization
Asked the class about the lesson

discussed in today’s lesson.
