In this lesson, you will learn how polynomials are used to solve problems outside the math classroom.

Objectives

Students will:

  1. Use technology to graph polynomial equations.
  2. Use the graphs of polynomial equations to find relative and absolute extrema.
  3. Use graphs of polynomial equations to solve word problems dealing with extrema.

Skills Needed

Students must be able to:

  1. Sketch the graph of a polynomial using definable characteristics from a polynomial equation.
  2. Interpret the graph of a polynomial equation.
