Investigate the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and explore polynomial equations to determine the number of factors, the number of roots, and investigate multiplicity of roots.

Get out your TI-nspire graphing calculator and explore polynomials. Learners determine where a given polynomial are increasing or decreasing, find maximums, minimums, and zeros of polynomials, and discuss end behavior of polynomials....

Who doesn't need to know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra? Use the theorem to find the roots of a polynomial on a TI calculator. The class explores polynomials with one solution, no real solutions, and two solutions. This less...

Learners relate polynomials to a rollercoaster track as they translate a graph around on a coordinate plane. They differentiate between different forms of algebraic expressions.

Pupils graph Taylor polynomials in this calculus lesson. They observe the graphs for the expansion of Taylor polynomial functions and use the Ti calculator to help create visuals of the graphs.

Students identify the end behavior of polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph different polynomials functions and find a correlation between exponents and function behavior. They identify the effect the leading...

Pupils identify the multiplicity of exponents as they graph polynomials. They write equations for a function given the zeros of the function and work backwards from solving equations.

Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus lesson. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it relates to the...

Students investigate graphs and their asymptotes. In this precalculus lesson, students examine the numerator and denominator of their rational functions. This helps them identify where and when the graph will cross its asymptote.

Young mathematicians solve problems with polynomials. As they graph and analyze polynomial functions, learners define constant and finite, and determine the relationship between the constant set of differences and the slope of a linear...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Students investigate the horizontal intercepts of functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify whether the factor of two functions results in a quadratic equation or not. They compare and contrast linear equations and higher...

Students model data using quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.
