Question

Determine if the graph can represent a polynomial function. If so, assume the end behavior and all turning points are represented on the graph. 7) 7) - 4+ 3+ a. Determine the minimum degree of the polynomial based on the number of tuming points. b. Determine whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative based on the end behavior and whether the degree of the polynomial is odd or even. c. Approximate the real zeros of the function, and determine if their multiplicity is odd or even A) a. Minimum degree 4 b. Leading coefficient positive degree even c. -4(odd multiplicity), -2 (odd multiplicity), 3 (even multiplicity) B) a. Minimum degree 3 b. Leading coefficient positive degree odd C. -4,-2, and 3 (each with odd multiplicity) a. Minimum degree 3 b. Leading coefficient negative degree odd c. -4(even multiplicity), -2 (even multiplicity), 3 (odd multiplicity) D) Not a polynomial function.

Answer 1

from the given graph the polynomical function has at Zeros 96 = -4, 3. 2 ac-anis at =-4 crosses the The graph crosses so multiplicity l. est a=-2 crosses The graph the a-anin so multiplicity I The graph touches the ac- ar ņ at 2=3 so multiplicity 2. A ) Minimum degree - 4 b. leading coefficient positive degree even ci -4 Codd multiplicity), -2 (odd multiplicing 3 (even multiplicity)
