Big Ideas: The degree indicates the maximum number of possible solutions. The leading coefficient dictates end behavior. This lesson builds on students’ work with quadratic and linear functions. The task asks students to graph various functions and to observe and identify the effects of the degree and the leading coefficient on the shape of the graph. Vocabulary: degree, end behavior, leading coefficient, parent function
