The degree of a polynomial determines...

• the maximum number of x-intercepts

• the number of turning points

• if the end behavior is up or down

• the y-intercept

What are the zeros of the polynomial function?
y = x(x - 6)(x + 5)

• 0, 6, -5
• 6, -5
• 0, -6, 5
• 1, -6, 5

Find the choice that is correct

• The leading coefficient is 2, the degree is 4

• The leading coefficient is 3, the degree is 2

• The leading coefficient is 3, the degree is 4

• The leading coefficient is 2, the degree is 2.

Which choice is correct?

• This function has an even degree

• This function has a negative leading coefficient

• This function has a zero at 1.

• The zero at −2 has even multiplicity.

Which function might have the given graph?

• f(x) = (x - 6)(x + 4)²

• f(x) = (x - 6)²(x + 4)

• f(x) = (x + 6)²(x - 4)
