No calculators of any kind may be used on this part of the test.
For these polynomial function graphs, the minima and maxima will not be exact. In fact, accurate extrema would not fit on most of these graphs. Mark each zero and
demonstrate the correct behavior ate each zero (pass straight through, bounce, or shake.) Mark the y-intercept and make sure the graph passes through it. Put
arrows to indicate end-behavior.

17: Sketch the graph of f(x) = x (x + 6)2 (x - 4)2. 18: Sketch the graph of g(x) = x 5 + 2x2 - 4x - 8

19: Sketch the graph of h(x) = - (x – 3) (x - 1)2 (x + 1) 20: a(x) = -x5 + 2x4 + 13x3 – 14x2 – 24x
BONUS ROUND (no calculators except the one in your skull)

21: The zeros of f(x) = x4 – 6x3 + 12x2 - 6x - 5 are __________________________________. (exact answers only)

22: The expansion of (2-9i)5 is__________________________________________. (answers in a + bi form)

23: Given that -2 – I is a zero of g(x) = x 6 + 4x5 + 7x4 + 8x3 + 11x2 + 4x + 5, the other zeros are ________________________.

24: The zeros of h(x) = 32x5 – 240x4 + 720x3 - 1080x2 + 810x – 243 are _________________________________________.

25: The expansion of (x - 2√ 3 )6 is _____________________________________________________________________. (Make sure


to simplify all radicals.)
