Question

What key features are necessary and how they can be used to create the sketch of a polynomial function?

Answer 1

The key features of polynomials are the vertex, axis of symmetry, x and y intercepts.

 

1.    The degree will help you find the end behavior.

2.     The vertex shows you where it changes concavity.

3.     X and y intercepts give you a couple of points of reference.

4.     Axis of symmetry is only applicable to even degree polynomials.
