Solution:

In the question below

for the graph of A ploynomial to move downward on the left side and upward on the right side,what must be true about the degree and the leading coefficient of the polynomial?

The graphn been talked about is a U -shaped parabola

Take for instance the graph below

Form the function above


y=2x^2+3x-2

We can see that the leading coefficient is positive and the degree is even

Take the graph too below for example

Hence,

The fourth OPTION is the right answer

The degree is even and the leading coefficient is positive
