Exploring Power Functions 1
Learners describe the end behavior of polynomial functions. Pupils relate the behavior of the graph to the exponent of the graph. They differentiate graphs with odd-exponent and graphs with even exponents.
Curated OER
Graphing Polynomials
Students graph polynomial equations using different methods. For this algebra lesson, students identify the different ways the x and y values relate in a graph. They solve for x by finding the zero's of the polynomials.
