Graph Polynomial Funstion Qualities
Graph Polynomial Funstion Qualities
-1, 1 and 2
Ask: What are the zeros of the polynomial
function?
Comment on the answer of the students.
Say:
Notice that the trend of the graph changes. This is
called the turning point.
The turning points of a graph occur when the
function changes from decreasing to increasing
or from increasing to decreasing values
How many zeros are there? 3
Say:
This activity extends what you learned when
using a table of signs to graph a polynomial
function. When the graph crosses the x-axis, it
means the graph changes from positive to
negative or vice versa. But if the graph is
tangent to the x-axis, it means that the graph is
either positive on both sides of the root, or
negative on both sides of the root.
F. Developing In this 8th activity, you will consider the number of Students will

Follow-up Questions:
1. What do you notice about the number of turning
points of the
a) quartic functions (numbers 1 and 2)?
b) quintic functions (numbers 3 to 5)?
2. From the given examples, do you think it is
possible for the degree of a function to be less
than the number of turning points?
3. State the relation of the number of turning points
of a function with its degree n.

H. Making The graph of a polynomial function is
generalizatio continuous, smooth, and has rounded turns.
ns and Further, the number of turning points in the graph of
abstract a polynomial is strictly less than the degree of the
actions polynomial.

I. Evaluating Activity 9 is a group activity. Have a group of 5
learning members. Let each group pick the number they
will have to work for. (Expect there are 2 or 3
groups which will pick the same number)
