Answer on your own paper. Do not just write 3, but degree 3. Listing each term next to its answer will help your brain make connections.
For polynomial function list:
Degree
Type
Even or Odd
Leading Coefficient
End behavior
Factored form
x-intercepts (which are also the solutions, roots and zeros of the function)
Standard form
Graph by hand (use table)
Graph with technology (sketch graph)
1) y=x(x-2)(x-3)
2) y=x^2(x-1)(x+1)
3) y=-2x^2 + 2x
4) y=5
5) y=-4x+2
6) y=-x^2(x+4)(x^2-4x+4) Note: not fully factored
How does finding the degree, type, even or odd, leading coefficient, end behavior, factoring, x-intercepts help you graph the function?
