Graphing Polynomial Functions

Using Wolframalpha graphing capabilites, algebra learners graph polynomials with degrees of three and larger. They identify the roots and graph each polynomial, predict zeros and shapes of graphs, and validate their understanding through...

You can learn to graph as well as a calculator using calculus. The lesson introduces using derivatives to find critical points needed to graph polynomials. Pupils learn to find local maximums and minimums and intervals of increase...

Young mathematicians graph polynomials using the factored form. As they apply all positive leading coefficients, pupils demonstrate the relationship between the factors and the zeros of the graph.

In this Algebra II/college level worksheet, students use the discriminate to determine if a polynomial has factors with integral coefficients and factor polynomials, including factoring by pulling out the GCF and factoring by grouping....

This is an interesting problem that approaches higher-degree polynomials from a different perspective. Given a third-degree polynomial, two known zeros, and a y-intercept, find the value of the polynomialÕs coefficients. This problem...

Take a look in the window. Pupils watch a presentation to discover how to graph a polynomial using a graphing calculator and using the window to find the extrema. Scholars use their knowledge from previous lessons to gain a rough idea of...

Sal takes your class’ newfound (or growing) knowledge of graphs of lines to the next level. He presents a few word problems in which mathematicians need to understand how to use linear function graphs.

Extending his asymptotes lesson from the previous video, Sal shows viewers another example of graphing rational functions. This video is shorter than the previous one and could be shown in a single class session.

So many things to remember when graphing polynomials and this guide gives a helping hand to do so. The packet goes through examples and explains things like critical values, end behavior, and multiplicities. There are image links and...

So, exactly, what does it look like? The easily usable graphing calculator allows pupils to visualize the graph of equations and inequalities. The interactive supports any algebraic graph needed for high school mathematics and then some.
