Polynomial Graphs Part 1

I introduce polynomial functions and give examples of what their graphs may look like. I then go over how to determine the End Behavior of these graphs. Part 2 will include finding y-intercepts, x-intercepts and their multiplicity, determining even or odd, and sketching the function.

At minute 2:34 I say that f(x)=4 has an exponent of 0 instead of a degree of 0.

At 7:04 I incorrectly draw y=-1/x instead of y=1/x...though my explaining about what a polynomial graph is still correct otherwise. An annotation was added but you won't see it with an iPad, iPod, or iPhone.

Your excitement is so inspiring. It can be difficult to get excited about learning math. I always thought I was bad at this stuff but really i just needed someone to explain it better. You embody what it really means to be a teacher.Thank you for spreading passion for learning!

I snorted when he said "BAM!" and went out of the frame, enthusiastically saying "check out part 2" after a few seconds. 

Learned more here than in class. BAM! Thank you!!!

[profrobbob]

It's easier to be enthusiastic when you love what you do and it doesn't "feel" like a job! Thanks for watching.

[profrobbob]
