5.2.2 Guided Instruction: Solutions to the
Products and Quotients of Polynomials on a
Graph
Graphs can be used to determine the products and
quotients of polynomials similarly to using graphs when
adding and subtracting polynomials.
The functions a(x) and b(x), and their product, a(x) b(x),
represented by c(x), are shown on the coordinate plane.
