The goal of this pamphlet is to provide instructors of various scientific disciplines with mathematically accurate graphs of elementary polynomial functions. The figures in this pamphlet are intended to provide suitable material for the preparation of classroom handouts and overhead transparencies. In addition, sample sets of exercises are…
