Polynomials and Polynomial Inequalities

The end behavior of a polynomial is determined by the ________________

The following are characteristics of the graph of a polynomial.

• Sharp corners

• Smooth curves

• Continuous

• Has jumps

The multiplicity of the factor (x+1) could be:

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

If (x + 1) and (x + 3) are two factors of x³ - x² - 17x - 15, find the other one.

• $x-5$

• $x+5$

• $x+1$

• $x-12$
