alg II P - #15-23 ODDS ON PG. 442


alg II HP -  your project is due on Friday before we start the perf task.  If you missed today, here are the directions:

30 points in quiz category – attach this paper to your project

This project will ask you to graph an equation based on its zeros, y-intercept, and end behavior. 

Math:  Create a coordinate plane.  Plot the y-intercept.

To get the roots, use the rational root theorem and synthetic division to reduce the equation to a quadratic. Then solve the quadratic using factoring or the quadratic formula. If solutions are imaginary, list them.  List all possible zeroes on your paper (p/q).    

Describe the end behavior next to your graph.(Check notes 6-7).

Art:  After you graph it, turn it into a picture.  Treat it like a Rorschach inkblot.  In other words, draw what you think you see in the graph.  It is like the game of staring at the clouds and telling others what the clouds look like.

Grading:  Most of the grade comes from your display of math knowledge, but neatness, originality and artistry factor into the grade as well.

Breakdown:  math 50%, neatness 10%, artistry 25%, originality 15%.

and here is your equation:  

y=½ x²(2x⁴+3x³-x²+6x-10)
