  4. Identifying End Behavior Odd Positive Up Right; Down Left Even Negative Down Right; Down Left Even Positive Up Right; Up Left Down Right; Up Left Odd Negative

  5. Analyzing Zeros (x-intercepts) x-intercept behavior Graphic Representation Multiplicity Graph goes THROUGH the x-intercept Odd Multiplicity Graph TURNS at the x-intercept Even Multiplicity

  6. Finding and Analyzing x-intercepts Multiplicity of Two Goes Through the x-axis at x-intercept -2 Turns at the x-axis at 2

  7. Finding and Analyzing x-intercepts Multiplicity of Two Goes Through the x-axis at x-intercept -5 Turns at the x-axis at x-intercepts -5 and -1

  8. Intermediate Value Theorem for Polynomials Take f(a) and f(b). If there is a sign change between the two values then there exists a zero between a and b.

  9. Using the Intermediate Value Theorem Sign changes so there IS a zero (x-intercepts) between x = 0 and x = 1

  10. Using the Intermediate Value Theorem Sign changes so there IS a zero (x-intercepts) between x = 1 and x = 2

  11. Graphing Polynomial Functions • Leading Coefficient Test:Analyze the end behavior. (Ex: #’s 1-4) • Find the x-intercepts:Solve the polynomial and analyze the zeros. (Ex: #’s 5-6) • Find the y-intercept:Substitute 0 in for x • Determine the symmetry:Is the function even (y-axis symmetry), odd (origin) symmetry, or neither. • Find a few addition points and turning points:Use a table of values if needed. The maximum number of turning points will be 1 LESS THAN THE DEGREE of the polynomial.
