About this unit

In this unit, we will use everything that we know about polynomials in order to analyze their graphical behavior. Specifically, we will find polynomials' zeros (i.e., x-intercepts) and analyze how the behave as the x-values become infinitely positive or infinitely negative (i.e., end-behavior).
