3. Sketching Polynomials
![Page 2: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Steps for Sketching Polynomial Functions
Step 1. Degree
State the degree of f (x) and identify the shape.
![Page 3: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When the degree is even, then:
if a > 1, it opens up
Deg = 2
Deg = 4
![Page 4: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
When the degree is even, then:
if a > 1, it opens up
if a < 1, it opens down
Deg = 2
Deg = 4
Deg = 2
Deg = 4
![Page 5: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
When the degree is odd, then:
if a > 1, it rises to the right
Deg = 3Deg = 5
![Page 6: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When the degree is odd, then:
if a > 1, it rises to the right
if a < 1, it falls to the right
Deg = 3Deg = 5
![Page 7: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Step 2. Intercepts
y-intercept(s)
Let x = 0, and then solve for y
x-intercept(s)
Let y = 0, and then solve for x
![Page 8: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Note:
To find the x-intercept:
Factor completely and find the zeros
- for complex functions, you may need to use
the factor theorem and long division
![Page 9: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To find the x-intercept:
For second degree factors of the form Ax2 + Bx + C =
0,
you can use the quadratic formula to solve.
i.e.
A
ACBBx
2
42
![Page 10: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To find the x-intercept:
If you can’t factor or use the quadratic formula,
then use Newton’s method for finding roots.
i.e.
Take a first guess x1.
Then, to find x2:

Step 3. First Derivative Test
Differentiate and state the critical values
i.e. When f (x) = 0
![Page 12: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Differentiate and state the critical values
i.e. When f (x) = 0
Use the interval test to show where the function is
increasing and decreasing
![Page 13: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Differentiate and state the critical values
i.e. When f (x) = 0
Use the interval test to show where the function is
increasing and decreasing
Identify local (and absolute) max / mins
- substitute into the original function to get the y-values
![Page 14: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 4. Sketch the Function
Place all intercepts and critical values on the grid
Using your knowledge of where the function is increasing
and decreasing, connect the dots
Extend the arms on either side to infinity
- recall that polynomial functions are continuous and
have a domain x
![Page 15: MATH 31 LESSONS Chapter 4: Max / Min Chapter 5: Sketching 3. Sketching Polynomials](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013105/56649ef45503460f94c06a5b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

This function is of degree 3 and a > 0.
Thus, this function will rise to the right.
