Open-Ended
Write an equation for a polynomial function that has three
turning points and end behavior up and up.
51. Show that the third differences of a polynomial function of degree 3 are nonzero

and constant. First, use f (x) = x
- 3x
- 2x - 6. Then show third differences are

Reasoning
Suppose that a function pairs elements from set A with elements
from set B. A function is called onto if it pairs every element in B with at least one
element in A. For each type of polynomial function, and for each set B, determine
whether the function is always, sometimes, or never onto.
a. linear; B = all real numbers
b. quadratic; B = all real numbers
c. quadratic; B = all real numbers greater than or equal to 4
d. cubic; B = all real numbers
53. Make a table of second differences for each polynomial function. Using your tables,
make a conjecture about the second differences of quadratic functions.

width and a height that is 3 in. less than its width.
b. Graph the equation.
