This technology activity has many real-world applications. You will use Geogebra and Desmos to thoroughly investigate a fourth degree polynomial. Polynomials can be used in roller coaster rides to model curves and they can be used in road designs, buildings and other structures, polynomial regression for monthly prices of a commodity, and box design. Polynomials are also an essential tool in describing and predicting traffic patterns so appropriate traffic control measures, such as traffic lights, can be implemented. Using technology and the theorems of Chapter 5, you will determine the zeros, factor and graph the polynomial, locate all local extrema, and determine end behavior. [MO 8.1, MO 8.2, MO 8.3, MO 8.4]
