Graphing Polynomials

how does a parabola look when graphed

• a slanted line

• a "U"

• a horizontal line

• a vertical line

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Match the equation to the graph. Remember to look at your roots, multiplicity, and end behavior!! Use your notes!

• y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4)

• y=(x+1)²(x-3)(x-1)³

• y = 3x³ – 2x + 1

• y=(x+1)³(x-3)(x-1)²

Remember to look at your roots, multiplicity, and end behavior!! Use your notes!

• y = ^_(x + 2)(x - 1)²

• y = -(x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = (x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = -x³

• The function has an Even degree
• The function has a Negative coefficient
• The function has an Odd degree
• The function has 3 real zeros

Match the graph to the function

• f(x) = -2x⁶+9x²

• f(x) = x⁶-7x⁴+12x²-x-2

• f(x) = x⁶-3x³+x+2

• f(x) = -x⁶+5x⁴+3x-2

Select the two descriptions that best describe the polynomial FUNction's graph.

• Even degree

• Odd degree

• Positive leading coefficient

• Negative leading coefficient

In the above graph, which root has a multiplicity of 2?

Remember to look at your roots, multiplicity, and end behavior!!

Use your notes!

• -1

• -3

• -120

• 4

Match the graph to the function

• f(x)= -x²+3x+2

• f(x) = -x³+2

• f(x) = x³+2

• f(x) = ⅓x⁴-5x²+2

Which equation MOST LIKELY matches the graph?

• y = x⁴ - x³ + 3x² + 2

• y = -x⁴ + x³ + 5x + 2

• y = x³ - 2x² + 1x + 3

• y = -x³ - 2x² + 1x + 3
