Understanding Polynomial Functions

- Understanding Polynomial Functions

Use the following GeoGebra file and student worksheet to learn how the algebra of a function - written in factor form - relates to the graph of the function.

Instructions:

  1. Drag the sliders to change the algebra of the polynomial function.
  2. Click on the check boxes to reveal the graphs of different polynomial functions.

    • Note: It is best to only click one check box at a time. Otherwise the graphics view gets very cluttered.

Reflection:

Complete the accompanying student activity sheet.
