Graph of Polynomial Function

This document provides information about graphing polynomial functions, including: - The key characteristics of polynomial graphs such as being continuous, having no more than n intercepts for a degree n polynomial, and having n-1 turning points. - The steps to graph polynomials which are to determine end behavior, find turning points and intercepts, make a table of values, plot points and sketch the graph. - Examples of graphing different polynomials and an activity where students work in groups to graph polynomials on graph paper and present their graphs.

Figure Me Out!
I am the vertical line in the
Cartesian Plane. I am an
axis. What am I?

y-axis
I am the horizontal line in the
Cartesian Plane. On my right are
positive values while the negative
values are on the left. What am I?

x-axis
I make the equation true
when you substitute my
value to x. What am I?

Roots or zeros
I am one of the values in the
domain. The graph touches
me in the x-axis. What am I?

x-intercept
I am one of the values in the
range. The graph intersects
me in the y-axis. What am I?

y-intercept
I am the intersection of the x-
axis and y-axis. I am at the
center of the cartesian plane.

GRAPHING
POLYNOMIAL
FUNCTIONS
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPH OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

1. The graph of a polynomial function is


continuous. It means that there are no holes or gaps
in which you can even draw the graph without
lifting your pen. Also, the graph of polynomial
function is smooth, it has no sharp corner and the
turns are rounded.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPH OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

2. Every polynomial function of the nth degree


cannot have more than n roots which means
the graph cannot intersect the x-axis more than
n times.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPH OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

3. A polynomial function of degree n has n-


1 turning points on its graph or the number
of turning points is always less than n.
The turning points of a graph occur when
the function is changing values, from
decreasing to increasing or from increasing
to decreasing.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPH OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

4. The multiplicity of root r is the number of times that x-r


is a factor of f(x). When a real root has even multiplicity,
the graph of f(x) is tangent to the x-axis. When a real root
has odd multiplicity greater than 1, the graph bends as it
crosses the x-axis.
MULTIPLICITY OF BEHAVIOR RELATIVE TO THE
ROOTS X-AXIS
1 Crosses the x-axis
Even Tangent to the x-axis
Odd more than 1 Bends as it crosses the x-axis
Steps in Graphing Polynomial
Functions:
• Determine the end behaviors.
1 • Find the number of turning points of the graph.
• Find the x-intercepts and y-intercept.
• Make a table of values assigning values of x other than the
2 intercepts.

• Plot the points in the cartesian plane.


3 • Sketch the graph.
