Week1B Understand, DescribeAndInterprettheGraph'SPolynomialFunctions

The document outlines objectives for understanding and interpreting graphs of polynomial functions. It will discuss identifying the end behaviors of graphs using the leading coefficient test and identifying the multiplicity of roots or zeros of polynomial functions. Examples will be shown to demonstrate identifying the multiplicity of roots and how that relates to whether the graph crosses or is tangent to the x-axis at that point.

2. Identifies the multiplicity of root(s)/ zero(es) of
polynomial functions.

In general, when the multiplicity is odd, the graph


crosses and when the multiplicity is even the graph is
tangent with respect to the point.
