Polynomial and other nonlinear graphs

This study guide covers polynomial functions, including their definition, graphs, characteristics (like turning points and multiplicity of zeros), and analysis techniques (factoring, synthetic division). It also explores nonlinear functions such as exponential and logarithmic functions, along with their properties and graphs. Additional nonlinear functions like rational, absolute value, and square root functions are briefly discussed. Finally, it covers applications of these functions, including solving equations, modeling real-world scenarios, and graphical analysis.
