ISTE 2.b Communicate information and ideas

effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of
media and formats.

--Completely analyze end behavior and use it to adjust

equation's leading coefficient and degree
--Correctly identify all zeroes and usd them to find all factors of
the equation
--Identify multiplicities, relative extrema, and any other notable
features; adjust curve as much as possible to fit these
--Accurately write final polynomial equation in standard form
--Create an accurate graph of the final polynomial equation
