PLEASE HELP 30 POINTS

The illustration below is a graph of the polynomial function P(x). The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times and touches the x-axis once at the point (4, 0).

Polynomial function coming up from the left through the point negative four comma zero and turning approximately at the point negative three comma fifteen and going down through the point at approximately negative one and one half comma zero and through approximately zero comma negative nineteen and turning at the point approximately at one comma negative twenty three and going up to the turning point at four comma zero and continuing down towards negative infinity.

Part A: Use the graph to identify the zeros of the polynomial. (2 points)

Part B: Use the end behavior of the graph to explain whether the degree of the polynomial is even or odd. (2 points)

Answer 1

It’s most definitely not linear function since its curved and it doesn’t pass thru the origin
