Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The graphs of different polynomial functions
To find:
The graph of a polynomial with a leading term of x²
For a leading term of a polynomial to be x², it means the highest degree is 2.
Polynomial with highest degree as 2 gives a parabola when graphed.
Their equation is in the form of a quadratic equation.
From the options, the third image is a graph of a polynomial that opens up.
SInce the coefficient of x²is 1 (positive), the graph of a positive leading term opens up.
Hence, the correct graph depicting x² is the 3rd graph from the upload
