Sim Function

The graph will have: - 1 turning point (degree is 4, so max turning points is 3) - End behavior is positive as degree of leading term is even Possible graphs are: A U-shaped curve that opens up, crosses the x-axis 4 times (2 multiplicities of 2), and has end behavior of opening up towards positive y-axis.

To graph a function, you must understand the following :

a. Standard form
b. Leading term
c. x-intercepts and its multiplicities
d. y-intercepts
e. number of turning points
f. possible graph with end behavior
• Zeros of Polynomial Function
It can be shown that for a polynomial function
of degree n, the following statements are true:
• The function has, at most, n real zeros.
• The graph has, at most, n – 1 turning
points.
• Turning points (relative maximum or
relative minimum) are points at which the
graph changes from increasing to
decreasing or vice versa.
Finding the x and y - intercepts:
Example:
• Find the intercepts of the function
f (𝒙) = 𝒙 𝟑 - 𝟒𝒙𝟐 + x + 𝟔
Solution:
To find the x-intercept/s, set y = 0. Use the factored form. That is,
y = x3 – 4x2 + x + 6
y = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) Factor completely.
0 = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) Equate y to 0.
Equate each factor to 0
x + 1 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 or x–3=0
x = –1 x=2 x=3

The x-intercepts are –1, 2, and 3. This means the graph will pass through (-1, 0),
(2, 0), and (3, 0).
Finding the x and y - intercepts:

Finding the y-intercept is more straightforward.

Simply set x = 0 in the given polynomial. That is,


f (𝒙) = 𝒙 - 𝟒𝒙 + x + 𝟔
𝟑 𝟐

y = 0 - 𝟒(0) + 0+ 𝟔
𝟑 𝟐

y=6
The y-intercept is 6. This means the graph will also
pass through (0,6).
Multiplicities of Zeroes

The multiplicity of a zero is the number of times


the real root of a polynomial functions results in .
• If even multiplicity-then the graph touches the
x-axis
• If odd multiplicity. Then the graph crosses the
x-axis.
Behavior of Polynomial functions

The behavior of the graph of a function to the far left and far right is
called its end behavior.
