Activity 3.1
- What is the difference between absolute and relative extrema?
- How is the domain and range of a function different than the domain and range of a problem situation?
Activity 3.2
- What patterns are there with polynomial functions that have the same end-behavior?
- What patterns are there with polynomial functions that have opposite end-behavior?
- Summarize the characteristics of cubic, quartics, and quintics.[cut out and paste the tables on page 242]
- How is the range of a function related to the absolute maximum or minimum?
STEP 3: Self-check
Perform a self-check after the lesson is completed in class by asking yourself the following question:
"Can you answer the essential question(s) completely?"

"Can you answer the essential question(s) completely?"
- Yes? Awesome job! You took effective notes, and paid attention. You are on your way to success! :D
- No? Ok. We all have struggles. Determine why you said no, revise your notes and self-check again. Do not get discouraged.
