Overview:
In this unit, students will explore polynomial functions in depth. The sketch of a polynomial is a continuous graph with possible changes in shape and direction. The zeros are located where the graph crosses the x-axis. The end behavior is determined by the leading coefficient and the degree of the polynomial. We like to use polynomial functions to model real world data since the graphs of polynomial functions have no gaps or holes and contain no sharp corners or points. Real-life situations are modeled by writing equations based on data and using those equations to determine or estimate other data points (speed, volume, time, profits, patterns, etc.).
