SP#2: Unit E Concept 7- Graphing polynomials, including x-intercept, y-intercept, zeroes, (with multiplicities), end behavior


This problem is about graphing polynomials using its x-intercept, y-intercept, zeroes (with multiplicities), and end behavior. Factoring the equation will help you find the zeroes that will help you graph the points of the equation on the graph. It's end behavior allows you to know the direction of the arrows and then you graph the y-intercept.

Pay special attention to the multiplicity of the zeroes so you know how to act around the x-axis! A multiplicity of 1(T) will go straight through the graph, 2 (B) will bounce off the graph; does not cross the x-axis, and 3 (C) will curve through the graph.
