Question
What does the graph of the polynomial function tell you about the (A) sign of the leading coefficient, (B)
the degree of the function, and (C) the number of real zeros? Explain your answers!
y
А.
O The sign of the leading coefficient is negative because the end behavior is from an equation of odd
degree and negative leading coefficient.
O The sign of the leading coefficient is positive because the end behavior is from an equation of odd
degree and positive leading coefficient.
O It is not possible to determine the sign of the leading coefficient based on the graph.
В.
O The degree of the leading coefficient is even because the end behavior is going in opposite
directions.
Olt is not possible to determine anything about the degree of the function based on the graph.
O The degree of the leading coefficient is odd because the end behavior is going in opposite directions.
C.
) This function has 4 real zeros because it changes direction 4 times.
Olt is not possible to determine how many real zeros this function has based on the graph.
O This function has 5 real zeros because it crosses the graph five times.
