[size=100]Use the [b][color=#0000ff]New Function f(x)[/color][/b] button to generate a new polynomial function. Zoom and change the window to find an appropriate view of the function in order to determine the roots of the function.[/size]

[size=100][b]1)[/b] From the graph of the polynomial function, you should be able to determine its integer roots. Use the [b][color=#0000ff]Properties of f(x)[/color][/b] button to display the function's properties. After you determine the function's integer roots, check your answers with the [b][color=#000000]Roots of f(x)[/color][/b] checkbox.[/size]

[size=100][b]2)[/b] Knowing the integer roots of f(x), you can determine the possible factors of f(x). Check your answers with the [b][color=#000000]Possible Factors of f(x)[/color][/b] checkbox.[/size]

[size=100][b]3)[/b] With the possible factors of f(x) and based on the behavior of the graph near its roots, you can determine the degree of each factor of f(x). Write f(x) as a polynomial function in factored form. Check your answer with the [b][color=#000000]f(x) in Factored Form[/color][/b] checkbox.[/size]

[size=100][b]4)[/b] By multiplying the factors of f(x), you can write f(x) as a polynomial function in standard form. Completely multiply all factors of f(x) and check your answer with the [b][color=#000000]f(x) in Standard Form[/color][/b] checkbox.[/size]
