Activity 6.1
- What conclusions can you make about a polynomial function if you know its degree?
- What information could you use to determine the degree of a polynomial function?
- How do the a-values help determine the end behavior?
- Why are all functions with an absolute maximum or an absolute minimum considered even-degree functions?
Activity 6.2
- What formula is used to determine the axis of symmetry?
- What is the average rate of change formula?
- What is transformational form and how does each variable (A,B,C,D) affect its parent function?
Talk-the-talk
- What does the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tell us?
- What does the end-behavior of a polynomial function imply about the degree of the polynomial function?
- How do know if a zero of a polynomial function represents a point where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis?
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?"
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?"
- 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.
