(will attach in a sec!)

Answer 1

GRAPH!

Answer 2

Answer choices A,B,C,D from top to bottom...

Answer 3

some fifth degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient

Answer 4

and no constant since it goes through the origin

Answer 5

oh wait!! so my answer is this??/

letter B??

is the one i attached the answer?? :)

Answer 6

and when u say constant, do u mean like a number??

Answer 7

yes that would be a good choice

Answer 8

okay, yayy!! thank youuu :)

Answer 9

yeah i mean for example in \(f(x)=x^3-x^2+8\) the constant is 8

Answer 10

ohhh i see... so if it were f(x)=4x^3+x-9, the constant is -9 ???

Answer 11

you can tell for several reasons

another is that it starts at the bottom left and goes to the top right
that tells you the degree is odd and the leading coefficient it positive

then because it changes direction 4 times that means the degree must be at least 4

Answer 12

i mean at least 5!!

Answer 13

yes, in your example the constant was -9

Answer 14

hahha :) awesome! thank you sooo much!! :)
