Answer:

  • D. It is a many-to-one function

Explanation:

  • One-to-one if every y value has exactly one x value mapped onto it
  • Many-to-one if there are y values that have more than one x value mapped onto them.

We have a function that is of degree 3, so it has 3 x-intercepts which means there are points (x₁, 0), (x₂, 0), (x₃, 0), so it is a many-to-one function

Correct option is D
