POLYNOMIAL
FUNCTIONS
Mathematics 10
I. Objectives for the day:

1. I should be able to memorize the concepts on the end

behaviors and shapes of the graph of polynomial
functions;

2. I should be able graph polynomial functions; and

3. I should be able to formulate polynomial functions

given the graph.
 REVIEW:
A. End behavior of the graph
 leading coefficient: positive
degree of the function: even
example: 𝑦 = +𝑥 2

end behavior: up-up

leading coefficient: negative
degree of the function: even
example: 𝑦 = −𝑥 2

end behavior: down-down

 leading coefficient: positive
degree of the function: odd
example: 𝑦 = +𝑥 3 or 𝑦 = 𝑥 1

end behavior: down-up

 leading coefficient: negative
degree of the function: odd
example: y = −𝑥 3 or 𝑦 = −𝑥 1

end behavior: up-down

 REVIEW:
B. Shape of the graph
If the graph is linear, the graph of the function is a line
and it crosses the x-axis.

examples: 𝑦 = 𝑥 or 𝑦 = −𝑥
1 1
If the graph is quadratic, the graph of the function is a
parabola and it bounces on the x-axis.

example: 𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 or 𝒚 − 𝒙𝟐
If the graph is cubic, the graph curves on the x-axis

example: 𝒚 = 𝒙𝟑 or 𝒚 = −𝒙𝟑
 formulating the
polynomial function
given the graph
Given the graph, determine the function. The function
should be in factored form.
Example A.
Example B.
Example C.

ACTIVITY NO.
________
 Graph the given functions.
1.
𝟐 𝟑
𝒚 = 𝒙 + 𝟔 (𝒙 + 𝟐)(𝒙 − 𝟑)

2. 𝒚 = 𝟐𝒙(𝒙 − 𝟓)(𝒙 + 𝟒)(𝒙 + 𝟕) 𝟐

 For nos. 3 – 7
determine the function
given the graph.
3. y = ______________________
4. y = ____________________
5. y = ____________________
6. y = ____________________
7. ______________________
 ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is like the graph of polynomial functions.

There will be trials and problems along our journey.
But just like a linear function, no matter how hard
the situation may be, you will be able to cross that
certain problem for every problem has a
corresponding solution. And just like a quadratic
function, although sometimes you will fall,
eventually, you have to bounce back and go on.
Lastly, just like a cubic function, there may be
unexpected curves in life, but in the end, you have
to continue and soar high. 
