Worksheet 1: Finding Zeroes of Polynomial Functions
Skills Practiced: methods of factoring, using the quadratic formula,
working with real & complex numbers, relating the formula defining a
function f(x) to its graph, visualizing & sketching the graph of a
function.
Written Assignment: For each polynomial function below find all of its
zeroes, identify any x-intercepts, identify the type of end behavior, and try
to sketch its graph as well as you can with this information. Note: try
to do this by hand, before checking it on your graphing calculator.
Skills Assessment: We will have a quiz on this activity one week
from today, without graphing calculators.
