Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

[1] identify the properties of power, quadratic, and polynomial functions given a graph or an equation, including end behavior, domain and range, and local behaviors by using algebraic operations, interval notation, and words; [2] relate elements of the standard form of a quadratic function with corresponding transformations to its graph; [3] construct the equation of a power, quadratic, or polynomial function given its graph; [4] apply the intermediate value theorem to determine the approximate location of a zero of a polynomial; [5] evaluate polynomial functions using the remainder and factor theorems; [6] apply the rational zeros theorem, the fundamental theorem of algebra, and the linear factorization theorem to identify zeros of polynomials
