Graphing Polynomials in Factored Form

What form is the polynomial graph initially described as?

• Quadratic form

• Intercept form

• Vertex form

• Standard form

How is the degree of the polynomial determined?

• Sum of the coefficients

• Highest exponent of x

• Sum of the exponents of x

• Product of the roots

What are the zeros of the polynomial?

• x = 3, x = -2, x = -4

• x = 3, x = 2, x = 4

• x = -3, x = 2, x = 4

• x = 0, x = 1, x = -1

How many zeros does the polynomial have?

• Four

• One

• Three

• Two

What is the minimum value of x for the zeros identified?

• -4

• 3

• 0

• -2

What does an odd degree and positive leading coefficient indicate about the end behavior of the polynomial?

• Up on both sides

• Down on both sides

• Up on the right, down on the left

• Down on the right, up on the left

What does the end behavior 'up on the right, down on the left' signify about the polynomial's leading coefficient and degree?

• Positive coefficient, odd degree

• Negative coefficient, even degree

• Positive coefficient, even degree

• Negative coefficient, odd degree

Where is the maximum point likely located between which zeros?

• All of the above

• No maximum point

• Between x = -2 and x = -4

• Between x = 3 and x = -2

What is the role of the coefficient in front of the polynomial?

• It determines the zeros

• It affects the steepness and stretch of the graph

• It changes the x-intercepts

• It shifts the graph vertically

What impact does a numerical coefficient have on the graph of the polynomial?

• Changes the x-intercepts

• None of the above

• Alters the y-intercepts

• Modifies the curvature and height of peaks
