Graph polynomial functions with and without technology and describe end behavior.
Remarks
End behavior may be interpreted as behavior of the function for very large positive or negative(absolutely) independent variables.
Example 1: Graph the following equation:
Example 2: Describe the end behavior for the graph of the following equation

Curve Fitting:
With a mouse, students will drag data points (with their error bars) and watch the best-fit polynomial curve form instantly. Students can choose the type of fit: linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic. Best fit or adjustable fit can be displayed.
