Curve analysis of polynomial functions
Curve analysis of polynomial functions
Curve analysis of polynomial functions is a ready-to-use Math teaching resource for Grades 10–12. This series introduces the complete curve analysis of polynomial functions step by step. Starting from the basic building blocks domain, symmetry and zeros, the central tools of differential calculus are practised: extreme points via the first and second derivative, inflection points via f double prime and f triple prime, as well as monotonicity and curvature.
Guiding question: How does one investigate the graph of a polynomial function systematically and completely?
