Question

Create a polynomial function, f(x), of degree 3 or higher. This is my function, but I'm not sure how to add a degree of 3. Any help is appreciated.

a) f(x) = 2x^3 + 13x^2 - 25x + 7
b) f(x) = 2x^4 + 13x^3 - 25x^2
c) f(x) = 2x^3 - 13x^2 + 25x - 7
d) f(x) = 2x^5 + 13x^4 - 25x^3

Answer 1

To create a polynomial function of degree 3 or higher, choose the option that includes a term with an exponent of 3 or higher. In this case, the correct option is d) f(x) = 2x^5 + 13x^4 - 25x^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a polynomial function of degree 3 or higher, we need to include a term with an exponent of 3 or higher. Out of the given options, only option d) f(x) = 2x^5 + 13x^4 - 25x^3 has a term with an exponent of 3 or higher, which is 2x^5.
