Understanding the general shapes and properties of

P (x) = anxn + an−1x

n−1 + ....a2x2 + a1x + a0

by using a calculator.

Understanding the the effect of positive leading coefficient and negative leading coefficient.

Understanding Finite Differences using table of values.

We can come to the conclusion that above is a polynomial of degree 3 by finite differ-ences.
