Polynomial and Rational Functions (PR)

Chapter 4 Polynomial and Rational Functions (PR)

Objectives

BIG IDEA for the chapter goes here, in outcomes/main.ptx

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to...

Graph quadratic functions and identify their axis of symmetry, and maximum or minimum point.
Use quadratic models to solve an application problem and establish conclusions.
Rewrite a rational function as a polynomial plus a proper rational function.
Determine the zeros of a real polynomial function, write a polynomial function given information about its zeros and their multiplicities, and apply the Factor Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
Find the intercepts, estimated locations of maxima and minima, and end behavior of a polynomial function, and use this information to sketch the graph.
Find the domain and range, vertical and horizontal asymptotes, and intercepts of a rational function and use this information to sketch the graph.

Readiness Assurance.

Before beginning this chapter, you should be able to...
