Compare, through investigation using graphing technology, the graphical and algebraic representations of polynomial (i.e., linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic) functions (e.g., investigate the effect of the degree of a polynomial function on the shape of its graph and the maximum number of x-intercepts; investigate the effect of varying the sign of the leading coefficient on the end behaviour of the function for very large positive or negative x-values)

12CT.B.1.4

Distinguish polynomial functions from sinusoidal and exponential functions [e.g., f(x) = sin x, f(x) = 2^x )], and compare and contrast the graphs of various polynomial functions with the graphs of other types of functions
