  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

High schoolers generate the equation of a polynomial given its roots and the end behavior of the function. They need to apply theorems concerning the multiplicity of roots, conjugates of irrational or imaginary roots to find a polynomial. Additionally, they will use a graphing utility to determine local extrema.
