My math background is that I earned my BA/MA in Mathematics (SUNY Potsdam) before I began and completed a MS in Education (Utica College). I was accepted into Pi Mu Epsilon (Mathematics Honor Society) while at SUNY. I have now taught for 15 years (a few semesters at a local business college), 5 years of 9-12 (up to precalculus) and 10 years of 7-8 grade. I was selected as a New York State Master Teacher in January 2015 and fulfilled my obligations until December 2018. I remember earning a 4.0 in Linear Algebra 1,2 and Differential Equations but it has been sometime since I have studied and practiced that level of math. At this time 7-12 content would be my strength but I would certainly be willing to study and re-learn/familiarize myself with higher levels if necessary. I bring a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and tenacity to everything I do!
The graphs of all polynomial functions are _____, which means that the graphs have no breaks, holes, or gaps.
Finding a Polynomial Function, find a polynomial function that has the givenzeros. (There are many correct answers.)$$0,1,10$$
Sketching the Graph of a Polynomial Function, sketch the graph of the function by(a) applying the Leading Coefficient Test, (b) finding thereal zeros of the polynomial, (c) plotting sufficientsolution points, and (d) drawing a continuous curvethrough the points.$$f(x)=8-x^{3}$$
Using the Intermediate Value Theorem, (a) use the Intermediate Value Theoremand the table feature of a graphing utility to find intervalsone unit in length in which the polynomial functionis guaranteed to have a zero. (b) Adjust the table toapproximate the zeros of the function. Use the zero or rootfeature of the graphing utility to verify your results.$$f(x)=x^{3}-3 x^{2}+3$$
Using the Intermediate Value Theorem, (a) use the Intermediate Value Theoremand the table feature of a graphing utility to find intervalsone unit in length in which the polynomial functionis guaranteed to have a zero. (b) Adjust the table toapproximate the zeros of the function. Use the zero or rootfeature of the graphing utility to verify your results.$$g(x)=3 x^{4}+4 x^{3}-3$$
Using the Intermediate Value Theorem, (a) use the Intermediate Value Theoremand the table feature of a graphing utility to find intervalsone unit in length in which the polynomial functionis guaranteed to have a zero. (b) Adjust the table toapproximate the zeros of the function. Use the zero or rootfeature of the graphing utility to verify your results.$$h(x)=x^{4}-10 x^{2}+3$$
How many permutations can be formed from the letters ASQUITH if only 5 letters can be taken at a time?
When blood donors were randomly selected. 45% of them had blood that is Group O (based on data from the Greater New York Blood Program). Find the probability that at least 1 of the 5 donors has Group O blood.
A scatterplot shows a positive association between two variables. What is the best description of this graph?
