Polynomial functions of Higher degree Chapter 2. 2 You should be able to sketch

Polynomial functions of Higher degree Chapter 2. 2 You should be able to sketch the graphs of a polynomial function of: Degree 0, a Constant Function Degree 1, a Linear Function Degree 2, a Quadratic Function In this section you will learn how to recognize some of the basic features of graphs of polynomial functions. Using those features, point plotting, intercepts and symmetry you should be able to make reasonably accurate sketches by hand.
