This project requires students to inquire about polynomial functions so that they can make a poster containing 4 graphs that satisfy very unique behaviors. This project creates a synergy of understanding for all of the following topics: *End Behavior as x goes to infinity and negative infinity *Even and Odd Degree Functions *Increasing and Decreasing Intervals *Local Minimum and Maximum *Domain and Range *X Intercept and Bounce Points *Is a Function Even, Odd, or Neither *Rational and Irrational

This is a project that you could give to a student in an Algebra 2 or PreCalculus class who is also into graphic design. Rational functions take on so many interesting shapes that they are obvious candidates to be turned into art. Inside this project are 6 designs made by students ranging from excellent to average work. One great plus of letting student do this project is that you get some awesome custom decorations to add to your class.
