PRECALCULUS UNIT 3 CALENDAR Day 1 1.

The Student Will determine the end behavior of a polynomial function by looking at the functions leading degree and leading coefficient [3.1, pp.] 2. TSW graph a polynomial function by: Identifying all zeros by factoring Using multiplicity of factors to determine the functions behavior at each zero Utilize knowledge of end behavior [3.1, pp.] 3. TSW determine the maximum number of extrema possible for a given polynomial based on its degree and use a GDC to find the specific value of extrema. [3.1, pp. ] Homework Prior to Class: Watch Video 3.1 Yellow Text (Larson): 2.2 pp 108 (1-8, 17-33 odd, 43, 53) In Class: Conceptual Problems Worksheet Homework: Watch Video 3.2 Yellow Text (Larson):2.3 pp 123(1-21 odd, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 43) Day 2 4. TSW use long division on polynomials and write the dividend as the product of its divisor and quotient plus remainder (P(x)=D(x)Q(x)+R(x)). [3.2, pp.] 5. TSW use synthetic division and The Remainder Theorem to evaluate a function at a point. [3.2, pp.] 6.TSW use synthetic division and The Factor Theorem to find all zeros of a polynomial.
