Assignment 18 (2A.3.1) Describing End Behavior and Turns Homework: Pgs.63-64 (1-10) & Read Pgs.65-68 Warm Up Workbook Warm-Up 2A.3.1 Notes Even-degree polynomial = largest exponent is even Odd-degree polynomial = largest exponent is odd Relative (or Local) Maximum = the turning point where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing; top of a hill. Relative (or Local) Minimum = the turning point where the graph changes from decreasing to increasing; bottom of a bowl. Roots/ zeroes/ x-intercepts = values which make the polynomial zero; where the graph crosses the x-axis. Nspire Exploration: Graph, compare, look for similarities (patterns) a. = ! + 5 ! − 3 ! − 7 + 3 b. = ! − 3 ! + ! − 7 + 3 c. = ! − 7 + 6 d. = ! + ! − 10 II. Change the leading term to negative III. Change the leading exponent to an odd number IV. Change the leading term to negative
