👉 Learn about the characteristics of a function. Given a function, we can determine the characteristics of the function's graph. We can determine the end behavior of the graph of the function (rises or falls left and rises or falls right). We can determine the number of zeros of the function (the number of places the graph crosses or touches the x-axis). We can determine the number of turning points of the function (the number of times the graph turned). We can determine the degree of the function if the function is a polynomial (the number of turning points plus 1), and we can determine the domain and the range of the graph of the function.
