Description
This is a double-sided notes page over Graphing Polynomial Functions.
The notes begin by explaining that all polynomial functions are continuous. Then, 4 graphs of functions are given and students classify them as continuous or discontinuous.
Next, students are told that the domain of all polynomial functions is all real numbers, that the the number of zeros (or factors) is equivalent to the degree of the polynomial and then end behavior is introduced and explained.
On the back, the quadratic and cubic function are used as examples to introduce the new concepts (end behavior).
Next, the student graphs 4 examples by hand using the new concepts. Functions are either cubic or quartic and written in factored form. They are to use the end behavior and zeros to only sketch a graph. Maximum and minimum points do not need to be exact. There are also no multiplicities.
Finally, the student is given two graphed polynomial functions and has to use the end behavior and zeros to write a possible polynomial function for each. Key included.
