Q2W1 – ACTIVITY SHEETS
POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

NAME:_________________________ SECTION: _______________

Direction: Write your answer in the space provided in this activity sheet.
PART I. Identify whether the following statement is TRUE or FALSE.
__________1. In P ( x ) =an x n+ an−1 x n−1 +…+ a2 x 2 +a1 x +a 0, the leading term is a n x n.
__________2. The graph of a polynomial function has gaps.
__________3. The turning points of a polynomial function of degree n is at least n - 1 .
__________4. The end behavior of the graph of a polynomial is determined by its leading
coefficient.
__________5. The domain of any polynomial function is the set of all real numbers.
PART II. When mathematicians were busy looking for formulas for the roots of higher
degree equations, this German mathematician established and proved a theorem in 1797
called the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Who is he? To know his last name, use the
degree and end behavior and match each polynomial to its graph. Decode the
letters.

A S G U

Decode the letters by matching the following polynomials with its graph.
f ( x )=−4 x 3−4 x 2+ 8
f ( x )=x 4 −3 x 2−6 x
f ( x )=x 3 +3 x 2−4 x
f ( x )=−2 x 2 +4 x +5
f ( x )=−2 x 2 +4 x +5

PART III. Sketch the graph of an odd-degree polynomial function with a negative leading
coefficient and three real roots.
