Given the graph:

Let's determine if the graph represents a polynomial function.

A polynomial function can be said to be a function which has non negative exponents and has only positive integers as the exponents.

It can be categorized as a quadratic function, cubic function, quartic function, etc.

Yes, the given graph represents a polynomial function and it is a quartic function.

The graph has 3 turning points.

A quartic graph has 3 turning points

The type of polynomial function shown in the graph is a quartic function.

ANSWER:

Yes, it is a quartic polynomial function.
