Zeros of Polynomials

Victoria Pascale
Introducing the Lesson

Today we will be going over what the zeros of

polynomials look like on an xy coordinate
axes!
Learning Target

I can…… identify zeros of polynomials

on an xy coordinate plane.
Sooo what pattern are we beginning to notice?

??????
As the degree of the
polynomial goes up, so
does the amount of times
the function hits the
x-axis.
Now let’s think, what are
these points where the
function is hitting the x-axis
called????
These are the zeros of
the function, where
f(x)=0.
