Polynomial Graphs Part 1

I introduce polynomial functions and give examples of what their graphs may look like. I then go over how to determine the End Behavior of these graphs. Part 2 will include finding y-intercepts, x-intercepts and their multiplicity, determining even or odd, and sketching the function. At minute 2:34 I say that f(x)=4 has an exponent of 0 instead of a degree of 0. At 7:04 I incorrectly draw y=-1/x instead of y=1/x...though my explaining about what a polynomial graph is still correct otherwise.
