Zeros and End Behavior Objective: Be able to find zeros and end behavior of a graph. TS: Making decisions after reflection and review
Exploration: • Find the end behavior of each of the following equations. Look for a pattern and then describe how you would find the end behavior without actually graphing. • Find the number of x-intercepts of each of the equation. See if you can find a connection between the number of x-intercepts and the equation itself.
y = x2 + 2x + 1 • y =-2x2 + 3x – 1 • y = -x2 • y = 2x2 – 1 e) y = 2x3 + 4x – 1 • y = -x3 + 2x – 1 • y = 4x4 + 1 • y = 3x3 – 2 • y = 5x5 • y = -4x5 + 1 • y = 8x8 • y = -4x7 + 5x3 – 4x – 1 • y = 8x3 – 4x4 – 2x + 3 • y = -3x5 + 4x6 – x4

Find the zeros of each of the following. • y = x3 + x2 – x – 1 • y = x4 – 8x2 + 16 • y = 2x5 + x4 – 6x3 • y = -2(x + 2)2(x – 2) • y = 3(x – 1)3(x + 2)2(x – 4)
Multiplicity When a zero is repeated it is said to have a multiplicity equal to degree of it’s factor. Which zeros from the last examples have a multiplicity, and what are their multiplicites? What happens to the graph when a zero has a multiplicity? ..
Graph sketching When you’re asked to sketch a graph… • Find the end behavior • Find the zeros and their multiplicities • Find the y-intercept • Sketch away!
Sketch • y = x3 + x2 – x – 1
