 * In sections 2.1 to 2.4, we learn how to do many things related to polynomial functions. In section 2.1 we learn to analyze graphs, write quadratic functions and use quadratic functions by applying them to real life situations. In section 2.2, we build on those skills and continue as we learn about transformations on graphs and finding zeros of polynomial functions. Section 2.3 teaches us synthetic division and long division of polynomials, and finally section 2.4 deals with complex numbers. It includes writing, multiplying, adding, subtracting and dividing complex numbers. **
