Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.654321-6-5-4-3-2456-1-2-3vThe degree of the polynomial function represented by the graph is, and its leading coefficient is

Answer 1

Step 1

The degree of the polynomial is found by counting all lines leading to curves and lines after the curve

From the graph, the degree of the polynomial is 4

Step 2

From the graph, the leading coefficient can be found to be negative. Since it falls to the left and falls to the right. In order words, the graph falls downwards.
