LG 1 - Intro to Polynomial Functions

LEARNING OBJECTIVE	UNIT 10 - POLYNOMIAL & RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
BTEOTPSWBEAT.... identify the degree of a polynomial and the corresponding name of the type of polynomial (cubic, quartic, quadratic, linear, etc...) analyze the end behaviors of a higher order polynomial in terms of the degree of the polynomial sketch the graph of a polynomial function given information regarding the degree, lead coefficient, max/min, or real zeros	LG 1 - Intro to Polynomial Functions LG 2 - Is it a Zero? Direct and Synthetic Substitution LG 3 - Finding all zeros of a polynomial function LG 4 - Rational Functions TEST REVIEW - UNIT 10

WARM UP

-What are the x-intercepts of the graph?

-What is the vertex of the graph?

- Where is the y-intercept

Discuss answers together as a class.

Polynomial Investigation

1. Go to this Geogebra Worksheet

2. Read the guide (Introduction to higher order polynomials)

PLEASE HIGHLIGHT OR UNDERLINE NEW VOCABULARY and mark words that you do not understand

- After reading this you should have the first row of the table filled in.

3. Use the geogebra applet to fill in the remainder of the table

4. ON YOUR OWN- not with a partner - Answer the questions related to the table

5. When you are done, find someone in the room that has also just finished, sit by them for a moment and compare answers to discuss any differences in you answers. (You may not skip this step!)

6. Watch the LEAD COEFFICIENT - End behaviors of polynomial functions

(if it doesnt work or you don't understand watch this...video about end behavior of polynomials)

..or you may read p200 ex2,3 in the Algebra II workbook

7. When you are done with this you may work on theassignment 10.1 #1-24 all
