Day 6.End Behavior of Polynomial Graphs.16.notebook
October 24, 2016
Topic: Polynomial Functions
Aim: How do we determine End Behavior of polynomial
graphs? Do Now: Determine the degree and zeros, with
multiplicity, of each polynomial function. Check your
answers using the graphing calculator.
1) f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)
2) f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)2
3) f(x) = -(x + 3)(x - 2)2
4) f(x) = (x + 3)2(x - 2)
5) f(x) = (x + 3)2(x - 2)2
6) f(x) = -(x + 3)2(x - 2)2
What do you notice about the zeros of all the functions?

The End Behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior
of the graph f(x) as x approaches positive or negative
infinity.
The Degree and Leading Coefficient determine the end
behavior of the graph.
