Purplemath: Polynomial Graphs: End Behavior

Don't allow those polynomial functions to misbehave! Understand the end behavior of a polynomial function based on the degree and leading coefficient. Learners examine the patterns of even and odd degree polynomials and apply them to...

Wrap it all up in a box. Pupils review the key concepts from an Algebra 2 polynomial functions unit by working 19 problems. Problems range from using the Remainder Theorem to find remainders and finding factors; sketching graphs by...

Determine which way to go. Pupils learn how the leading term determines the end behavior of a polynomial function. They see how to use the end behavior of a polynomial to identify the graph of the function before practicing their skills...

Provide a sketch of the suspect. Scholars see how to use the key aspects they know about polynomials to create a sketch of the graph. Learners factor to calculate the zeros by factoring, find the end behavior, and determine the...

This site provides an explanation of the end behavior of functions. Covers end behavior as it relates to function models, rules, polynomials, asymptote, functions, and graphs.

Guide your students to the discovery that the end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient by using this activity from Holt, Rinehart, & Winston's Algebra...

Take your kids on a tour of graphing rational functions. Using this TI lesson, high schoolers identify the end behavior of their functions. They find the domain and range, describe end behavior, and look at asymptotes and restrictions of...

Students can use the TI-84 Plus family to analyze the end behavior of polynomial functions.

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...

Analyze polynomial functions to determine how they behave as the input variable increases to positive infinity or decreases to negative infinity. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...
