Answer 5

there we go c:

Answer 6

good o.o i really need help with algebra -.-

Answer 7

You sure this is a polynomial? Looks a lot like a parabola. Lol @AravindG

Answer 8

that's what it says on the page o.o it says the graph of the polynomial

Answer 9

Hmm, @Luis_Rivera

Answer 10

yeah i suck at math so pretty much all math is complicated to me -.-

Answer 11

I'm pretty decent, but I just don't understand this.

Answer 12

Have you done any of these types of problems before?

Answer 13

yeah,but i kinda guessed, and i didn't want to guess again, because i don't want to fail, so i decided to look up a website that could help me

Answer 19

A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation, which is a specific type of polynomial.

Answer 20

An extreme of a polynomial is the point where it has a "peak" or a "valley."
Example:

Has extremes at x=-2 (a peak)
and at x=3 (a valley)
