Polynomial Functions Teacher Resources

This site from the Richland Community College provides the detailed lecture notes to a college algebra course, complete with equations and definitions. Content ranges from "functions and their graphs" to "conics and parametric equations."

Explains how to recognize the end behavior of polynomials and their graphs. Points out the differences between even-degree and odd-degree polynomials, and between polynomials with negative versus positive leading terms.

A step-by-step example problem and explanation of synthetic division is provided.
