Common Core Math - HS Algebra
Lesson Plan
Identify zeros and graph polynomials
Goals / Objectives
Read the zeros of a polynomial directly from its factored form by applying the zero-product property
Determine the multiplicity of each zero and explain how multiplicity affects the graph's behavior at that x-intercept (crossing vs. touching)
Describe end behavior of a polynomial function using the leading term (degree and sign of leading coefficient)
Sketch a rough but structurally accurate graph of a polynomial function using zeros, multiplicities, y-intercept, and end behavior
Interpret zeros in context — explain what a zero represents in a real-world modeling situation
