I. Find the polynomial from its zeros

Find the polynomial of degree 3 whose zeros are -4, 1, and -3

a. Using the zeros, determine the factors of the function.

b. Determine the behavior of the function around these zeros. (Use the number line model.)

c. Sketch a rough graph of what this function might look like. The max/min points are not important in determining where the graph is above or below the x-axis.

d. Multiply the factors to obtain the degree 3 polynomial.

e. Using Desmos, graph the polynomial found in part (d) to verify your rough sketch.

f. Compare your rough graph to the Desmos graph. How did you do - close? wrong? perfect?

II. Analyze the behavior of a rational function

III. Analyze the behavior of a polynomial inequality.

~ The graph holds the solution to the inequality.

~ Contains the zeros of the function.

~ Is the actual graph of a function.

Observe the lines around the regions. They are significant.

a. Determine the zeros of the inequality.
b. Define the zeros.
c. Using the zeros, determine the factors of the function.
d. Write the equation of the function. (Not the inequality).
e. Determine the behavior of the function around the zeros.
f. Using the above information in part (e) generate a number line.
g. The green area contains the solution set. Identify this solution set.
h. Identify the inequality: >, >=, <, <= Explain your answer.
i. Write the polynomial inequality for this graph.
