PRECALCULUS OBJECTIVES CH 2
Students will be able to:
1. identify polynomial functions and state the degree and leading coefficient.
2. write the equation of a line given two points in function notation
3. describe the transformations of functions and sketch the corresponding graph
4. find the vertex of a quadratic function using the formula or by completing the
square.
5. describe the strength and direction of a scatter plot; understand the range of values
for correlation.
6. graph a polynomial function of higher degree and apply transformations to the
parent function.
7. describe the end behavior of functions using limit notation.
8. graphically find the local extrema and zeros of a polynomial function.
9. find the zeros of a function by factoring the polynomial.
10. state the multiplicity of each zero and describe the behavior of the graph as it
crosses the x-axis at each zero.
11. use long division to divide polynomial functions and write in polynomial form or
factored form.
12. use synthetic division to divide polynomial functions and write in fraction form.
13. use the Remainder Theorem to find the remainder when dividing by a linear
factor and understand the significance of the remainder.
14. use the Factor Theorem to determine whether a linear factor divides evenly into a
given polynomial function.
15. write a function in standard form given the zeros, degree and/or multiplicity.
16. compose a list of all possible rational zeros.
17. find the real zeros of a polynomial using long division and synthetic division.
18. add, subtract, and multiply complex number writing the answer in standard form.
19. graph a complex number on the complex coordinate plane.
20. determine the conjugate of a complex number and use it to write an expression in
standard form.
21. write a polynomial in standard form given the degree, multiplicity, real, and
complex zeros.
22. find all the zeros of a function and write a linear factorization of the function.
23. find all asymptotes and intercepts of a rational function, determine end behavior
using proper limit notation, and sketch the graph of the rational function.
24. solve and graph a polynomial inequality.
25. solve rational equations in one variable and check for extraneous solutions.
