Algebra II: One of the Many Ways

by Texas Instruments

Overview

Students graph polynomials to determine the value and number of zeros for a given polynomial.

Key Steps

  • Image

    In this activity, students will graph different degree polynomials equations to determine the value and number of zeros for a given equation. They are to make a conjecture about the number of zeros and the degree of the polynomial.

  • Image

    In the second part of the activity, students will use the Rational Root Theorem to find the possible zeros of a polynomial and then enter the possible values into a table to determine the actual zeros.
