two polynomials. (show your work)
In Problems 17–28, determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, state the degree. For those that are not, tellwhy not. Write each polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading term and the constant term
In Problems 21–32, use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to determine how many positive and how many negative zeros each polynomial functionmay have. Do not attempt to find the zeros.
