ROLLER COASTER PROJECT

Sketch a "roller coaster" polynomial on a coordinate polynomial on a coordinate plane. Be sure to illustrate your x-axis and y-axis scale. Include the following information about your "roller coaster".

1. All zeros or roots of your polynomial; be sure to include at least one of each of the following on your illustration: double root, more than one real root, and imaginary roots.

2. State the domain of your graph (that is, the actual ride).

3. State the range of your graph ( that is, the actual ride).

4. Color the graph blue where the polynomial is increasing and red where the polynomial is decreasing.

5. Give the factored form of your roller coaster. Be as creative as you'd like to be. Your project will be graded for accuracy, neatness, originality, and creativity.



ENJOY YOUR RIDE!!!
