SP#2: Unit E Concept 7 - Graphing a polynomial and identifying all key parts


This is an example of how to graph polynomials with multiplicities. The images show how to factor the polynomial and find the end behaviors. Furthermore, it shows the y intercept, which can be found by plugging 0 in for x in the original polynomial.
The viewer needs to pay special attention to the multiplicities of the factors, so they know how to graph the polynomial. Each multiplicity has a different behavior. Moreover, knowing the end behavior can also help graph the polynomial because it shows which way the graph ends are pointing.
