    This document discusses how to graph polynomial functions by examining key concepts like end behavior and turning points. It states that a polynomial graph of degree n will have at most n turns, and if a polynomial has n real zeros then its graph will have exactly n turning points. The document also notes that a repeated zero with even multiplicity will produce a local maximum, while an odd multiplicity zero will produce a local minimum.

    6) Sketch the graph using the zeros and end behavior


    7) Sketch a graph of each using the zeros and end behavior

    a. f(x) = -5x + x2 + x3 + 3

    b. f(x) = 3x4 – 10x3 -24x2 – 6x + 5


    c. f(x) = x4 – 1
