Yes, this graph represents a polynomial. There are two turning points and the least degree possible is two.
	This is not a polynomial. There are no turning points as the curve is always increasing.
	Yes, this graph represents a polynomial. There are two turning points and the least degree possible is three.
	This is not a polynomial. There are two vertical asymptotes that restrict the domain.
