Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Relationships

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another, teasing out features of polynomials way past the common maxima, minima and solution features. The attached worked solutions are clear and accurate, and they stress the importance of clear mathematical thought and reasoning over rote memorization.
