ALG II Honors Worksheet: - Sections 7.1-7.2 Polynomial Functions / Graphing Polynomial Functions

The document contains instructions and problems for graphing and analyzing polynomial functions of degrees 2, 3, and 4. Students are asked to graph functions, find zeros, estimate maxima and minima, state the degree and leading coefficient, evaluate polynomials for given values of x, and describe the end behavior, degree (odd or even), and number of real zeros. There are 7 problems total requiring these steps for polynomials f(x) = x3 - 3x2 + 4, f(x) = -x4 + 2x2 - 1, and others.
