Module 2- Problems Involving Polynomial Functions

This document covers polynomial functions, including the Leading Coefficient Test, end behaviors, and the number of turning points based on the degree of the polynomial. It also explains how the graph interacts with the x-axis based on the multiplicity of x-intercepts and provides examples of determining polynomial equations from graphs. Additionally, it includes word problems that apply polynomial concepts to real-world scenarios.

FUNCTION FUNCTION
A turning point is a point of the
graph where the graph changes
direction from increasing to
decreasing (rising to falling) or
decreasing to increasing
(falling to rising). A polynomial of
degree n will have at most n
−1 turning points.
Examples:
Without graphing, determine the number of turning points of the
graph of the following polynomial functions:

n = 3 ; at
most 2

n = 5 ; at
most 4

n = 4 ; at
By-pair Activity: (8 pts.)
A. Without graphing, give the value of n and determine the number
of turning points of the graph of the following polynomial functions:
n = 4 ; at
most 3
n = 7 ; at
most 6
n = 5 ; at
most 4
n = 6 ; at
most 5
Behavior of the graph of
polynomial function relative to the
x-axis
The graph of a polynomial function will cross the x- axis if
the real x-intercepts are distinct (multiplicity of 1).
The graph of a polynomial function will touch or tangent
to the x- axis if the real x-intercepts are in multiplicity of 2 or
even.
The graph of a polynomial function will cross the x- axis gradually if
the real x-intercepts are in multiplicity of 3 or odd.
Examples:
Determine the equation of the polynomial 1.

graph.
