Analyzing Graphs of Polynomial Functions - Lecture and Problem Set
Mr. Robinson's Virtual Math Classroom via YouTube
Overview
Learn to analyze polynomial function graphs in this comprehensive 3-hour lecture and problem-solving session. Master key graphing concepts including identifying zeros, turning points (local maxima and minima), and using graphing calculators for approximations. Explore even and odd functions, understanding their symmetry about the y-axis and origin respectively, and discover shortcuts for identifying these properties in polynomials through exponent analysis. Work through 55 practice problems with detailed explanations, supplemented by additional resources for graphing polynomials in both factored and standard form. Access downloadable materials including textbook sections and scaled graph paper to enhance your learning experience.
