What key graphical features are obtained from a polynomial function?

OpenStudy (twisted85):

Do you know what a degree of a polynomial is?

OpenStudy (bt55):

not really @Twisted85

OpenStudy (twisted85):

the degree is the highest power of the equation

OpenStudy (twisted85):

x^2 + 3x + 4 the degree is 2

OpenStudy (twisted85):

since you know that the degree is 2 then when graphed it will look like a U

OpenStudy (bt55):

ah okay so is one of the key features finding the degree

OpenStudy (twisted85):

yes and if its a negative then it will be facing down instead

OpenStudy (twisted85):

another is finding out where it starts on a graph

OpenStudy (bt55):

Okay so for the answer do i put the key feature obtained is the degree of a polynomial?

OpenStudy (twisted85):

yes and where the vertex is at

OpenStudy (bt55):

Thank you so much!!!

OpenStudy (twisted85):

no problem:)
