Graphing Higher-Degree Polynomials: The Leading Coefficient Test and Finding Zeros

  • By now, graphing lines seems trivial, and even graphing quadratics is a piece of cake. But what about higher-degree polynomials like cubics, quartics, and quintics? And even higher than that? It might seem quite daunting, but there are some handy tricks that will help you graph even these very complex functions. These involve using the leading coefficient test to discern the end behavior of the function, as well as plotting zeros and assessing their multiplicities in order to get a rough sketch of the function. It's not as bad as it sounds, check it out!

    The equation in the comprehension question should be x^4 + 5x^2 + 4 = y because x^4 + 5x^2 + 4 = 0 does not contain y, and is only used to find the x-intercepts; it is not the equation that we actually want to graph, which must contain y for the given answer.

    There is a small error in the video: when he says that you can also use the y-intercept, he puts the y-intercept of the function somewhere around -2/3, but if you actually calculate the y-intercept by replacing all x'es with a 0, you can see that the y-intercept is (0, -3), so the drawing is incorrect, the extrema of the function are way more outspoken.

      You can also use the quadratic formula just rearrange it like this and you would be able to find x^2.
      (x^2)^2 - 5(x^2) + 4 = 0

    I don't mean to be pedantic here, but if you graph the equation shown at 8:18, x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0, you're going to end up with four vertical lines with x-intercepts at x={-2,-1,1,2}. It seems like what you are really asking your students to do is sketch the graph of f(x) = x^4 - 5x^2 +4.
