WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN!!! PLEASE HELP. Dr. Collier summons you over to his table. He wants to demonstrate the graph of a fourth-degree polynomial function, but the batteries in his graphing calculator have run out of juice. Explain to Dr. Collier how to create a rough sketch of a graph of a fourth-degree polynomial function.

Do you know how to find/describe end behavior and intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know what forth degree polynomials are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have noo clue. Math is my worst subject especially word problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just relax forth degree polynomials r those in highest powers of x is up to 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okayy I know what those aree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like x^4 + x^3 - x^2 +x +4= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahhh I know what youre talking aboutt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph of 4th degree polynomials have two basic shapes. If the coefficient of x^4 is positive, both ends go up. If the coefficient of x^4 is negative, both ends go down. Anything can happen in the middle, so that's just really to give you an idea of the graph's shape |dw:1432169247348:dw|
