● Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and
use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the
polynomial.
Objective:
Why: To apply polynomial functions to real-world problems.
Show: How to apply the Descartes’ rules of signs to a polynomial function.
Know: How to determine if a function is a polynomial function and apply the Descartes’
rules of signs
Warm-Up/Opening (5-10mins):
● Check-In regarding homework from the day before.
● Check-In for any good news of the day.
● The students will turn in the homework.
Reflection:
● I feel that this lesson went well. The students seemed engaged and also picked up on
the material well.
● One thing I wanted to clarify was why you had to decrease the number of zeros by the
even integer. The reason why is because complex numbers come in pairs, however I
did not want to go into too much detail in it.
