Properties of Power Functions f(x)=xn where n is an even integer: Symmetric with respect to y-axis. D: (‒∞,∞) and R: [0,∞) Always contains (-1,1), (0,0), and (1,1). As n increases, in magnitude, the graph increases more rapidly when x<-1 or x>1, but near the origin, the graph flattens. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved

Find a polynomial of degree 3 whose zeros are -4, -2, and 3. Use a graphing utility to verify your result. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
For the polynomial, list all zeros and their multiplicities. 2 is a zero of multiplicity 1 because the exponent on the factor x – 2 is 1. –1 is a zero of multiplicity 3 because the exponent on the factor x + 1 is 3. 3 is a zero of multiplicity 4 because the exponent on the factor x – 3 is 4.

Turning Points (changes from increasing ↔ decreasing): If f is a polynomial function of degree n, f has at most n‒1 turning points. If the graph of a polynomial function f has n‒1 turning points, the degree of f is at least n. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
