In this unit, we focus on polynomial functions and how their graphs behave. You will learn how to recognize different types of polynomial functions and how changes to an equation affect the shape and position of its graph. This includes exploring key features such as intercepts, turning points, end behavior, and the effects of transformations like stretches, reflections, and translations.
