Divide decimals by whole numbers: word problems

What you'll learn

• Construct a polynomial function, expressed in standard form, given a set of real and/or complex roots, demonstrating accurate algebraic manipulation with at least 80% accuracy on a summative assessment.
• Determine the multiplicity of each root in a polynomial function and explain its effect on the graph of the polynomial, justifying the relationship between root multiplicity and graph behavior with supporting examples in a written response.
• Apply the Conjugate Root Theorem to identify all roots (real and complex) of a polynomial equation, given a subset of complex roots, and subsequently construct the polynomial in factored form.
• Analyze a polynomial equation to identify the degree of the polynomial and the leading coefficient, relating these characteristics to the end behavior of the polynomial graph.
