Polynomial and Function Quiz

A linear function is a mathematical function that can be represented by a straight line on a graph.

• True

• False

Rohan, Aria, and Grace are having a debate. Rohan says a quadratic function is an exponential function, Aria believes it's a polynomial function of degree 3, and Grace insists it's a polynomial function of degree 2. Who is correct?

• Rohan is correct.

• Aria is correct.

• Grace is correct.

• None of them are correct.

Imagine Aria, Abigail, and Jackson are having a debate about quartic functions. Aria says, 'A quartic function is a logarithmic function.' Abigail argues, 'No, a quartic function is a polynomial function of degree 3.' Jackson, however, insists, 'You're both wrong! A quartic function is a trigonometric function.' But then, a voice from the back of the room says, 'Actually, a quartic function is a polynomial function of degree 4.' Who is correct?

• Aria is correct.

• Abigail is correct.

• Jackson is correct.

• The voice from the back of the room is correct.

What is the graph direction when the leading coefficient of a polynomial is positive and the degree is even?

• Downward

• Upward

• Horizontal

• Diagonal

Noah, Ethan, and Sophia are having a debate. They are trying to figure out the direction of the graph when the leading coefficient of a polynomial is positive and the degree is odd. Can you help them settle this?

• Noah thinks the graph direction is upward.

• Ethan believes the graph direction is undefined.

• Sophia argues that the graph direction is horizontal.

• Or do you think the graph direction is downward?

Imagine Ava, Aiden, and Oliver are on a roller coaster ride. The ride's path is shaped like the graph of a polynomial with a negative leading coefficient and an even degree. In which direction does the roller coaster initially move?

• Downwards

• Diagonal

• Sideways

• Upwards

What is the graph direction when the leading coefficient of a polynomial is negative and the degree is odd?

• Downward

• Diagonal

• Upward

• Horizontal

What is the graph direction of a linear function?

• It can only be decreasing.

• It can only be increasing.

• It can be either increasing or decreasing.

• It can be both increasing and decreasing.

Hannah, James, and Daniel are having a debate. They are trying to figure out the direction of a graph for a quadratic function. Hannah thinks it's left or right, James thinks it's diagonal, Daniel thinks it's clockwise or counterclockwise, and their teacher says it's upward or downward. Who is correct?

• Hannah (Left or right)

• James (Diagonal)

• Daniel (Clockwise or counterclockwise)

• Teacher (Upward or downward)
