Big Idea:

Operations and Graphs of Polynomials

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

2A.2(A) graph the functions f(x)=√x, f(x)=1/x, f(x)=x³, f(x)= ³√x, f(x)=b^x, f(x)=|x|, and f(x)=log_b (x) where b is 2, 10, and e, and, when applicable, analyze the key attributes such as domain, range, intercepts, symmetries, asymptotic behavior, and maximum and minimum given an interval

Focus TEKS

2A.7(B) add, subtract, and multiply polynomials

2A.7(C) determine the quotient of a polynomial of degree three and of degree four when divided by a polynomial of degree one and of degree two

Learning Targets:

• I will sketch the graphs of cubic functions
• I will identify the end behavior of a polynomial function
• I will recognize even and odd functions given an equation or graph
• I will distinguish between even and odd functions and even-degree and odd-degree functions
• I will add, subtract, and multiply polynomials
• I will determine the quotient of two polynomials

Essential Questions:

• What does the degree of the polynomial tell you about the shape of the curve?
• How can polynomials be simplified and applied to solve problems?
