Lesson: Graphing Factorized Cubic Functions Mathematics

Students will be able to

• identify the graph of a factored cubic function, in particular
  • where the function crosses or touches the (by identifying the roots),
  • where the function crosses the (by setting ),
  • the end behavior of the function as it tends to positive or negative infinity,
• identify a cubic function given its graph,
• factor a cubic function that has as a common factor and identify its graph.
