Answer #1

The degree of f is 3

and the degree of f' is 2.

From the polynomial's curve we can observe the turning points or bumps in the graph and the flex point:
In the given f curve, we have 2 bumps and 1 flex, thus degree = 3:

1 & 2 are the bumps, while 3 is the flex y 1 3 2 2 2 Figure 4.2.10: y= g(x)

So, in general, the number of turning points/bumps and the flex points are equivalent to the degree of the polynomial and it's differential (i.e. f') will be one degree less.

Upvote, if the answer was helpful. Have a nice and safe day.
