Review 1. Polynomial Functions

The document is a worksheet focused on polynomial functions, divided into two parts: one without calculators and the other allowing their use. It includes tasks such as sketching polynomial functions, identifying equations based on graphs, and analyzing specific polynomial functions for their properties. Additionally, it features questions related to a model of television spending in the U.S. from 1990 to 2000.
