Activity Key Steps:


Students will graph different degree polynomial equations to determine the value and number of zeros for a given equation. They will use the Intersection Points tool and the Coordinates and Equations tool to find and display the zeros.


They are to make a conjecture about the number of zeros and the degree of the polynomial and answer several questions related to the conjecture.
