Project #3

For each bit of information given, write a short phrase/sentence describing what this tells you about the graph. Type your answer for this section in the TEXT ENTRY box here! !

Degree 4 Symmetric about the y-axis

Leading coefficient is negative

There are three zeros

Two of the zeros are:

x= -2 with a multiplicity 1

x= 0 with a multiplicity 2

Contains the ordered pair (0, 0)

Relative maximum near ( 1.4 , 4 )

As x,f(x) As x,f(x)

The zeros are x=-2, x=1, and x=3

All of the zeros have multiplicity 1

The y-intercept is (0, 3)

Relative maximum near ( -0.75 , 4 )

Relative minimum near ( 2 , -2 )

Part 2- sketch the graph (do not bother to try to create the equation!) of a polynomial function that satisfies the conditions for #1 above.

For extra credit, sketch the graph (do not bother to try to create the equation!) of a polynomial function that satisfies the conditions for #2 above
