Use calculator to graph𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥3−11𝑥2−32𝑥+24
Graphs of PolynomialsThe number of “peaks/valleys” for a graph of a polynomial is at most n – 1, where n is the degree of the polynomial
Strategy for Graphing Polynomials
• Find x-intercepts (set y=0)– Use factoring / Zero Product Property
• Make a sign test with x-intercepts• Find y-intercepts• Think of End Behavior• Find a few additional points• Plot points and sketch graph
𝑓 (𝑥 )=(𝑥−5 ) (𝑥−1 ) (𝑥+1 )
𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥2 (𝑥+2 ) (𝑥−2 )
𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥3+3𝑥2−10𝑥
