• an even real number

• an odd real number

Based on the end behavior of the polynomial, what is the degree of the polynomial?

• a negative real number

• a positive real number

• an odd real number

• an even real number

What are the linear terms of the polynomial function?

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)

• (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)(x+2)(x-4)

Classify the polynomial by degree.

• quartic

• quintic

• 6th degree polynomial 

• 7th degree polynomial

What is the remainder?
(6x² + 19x + 13) ÷ (2x + 5)     

• 0

• 3

• 5

• -5/2

Write the equation of the polynomial function
zeros: 0, -2, 4
degree: 5   
0 has a multiplicity of 3

• f(x) = x³(x-2)(x+4)

• f(x) = x³(x+2)(x-4)

• f(x) = x²(x-2)(x+4)

• f(x) = x²(x+2)(x-4)

The degree of the polynomial determines the number of roots.

• True

• False

What is the end behavior as x → -∞ f(x)→ ?

• -∞

• ∞
