Section 1.2: Characteristics of Polynomial Functions (p. 19 - 25)
Key Concepts:
1. Characteristics of Polynomial Functions
Note: For an even degree polynomial function with a negative leading coefficient, the end
behaviour of the function is from Quad. 3 to Quad. 4 as corrected in the video.
How to determine the leading coefficient given a table of values is also included.

2. The Leading Coefficient Test
3. Determining Characteristics of a Polynomial Function Given Its Graph
4. Absolute and Local Maxima/Minima
Note: Maximum point is the absolute maximum. Minimum point is the absolute minimum.
