Question

Match the function with its correct description.

Answer 1

A. The degree of the function is 4,
and the leading coefficient is
positive.

Answer 2

B. The degree of the function is 5,
and the leading coefficient is
negative.

Answer 3

C. The degree of the function is 6,
and the leading coefficient is
negative.

Answer 4

D. The degree of the function is 5,
and the leading coefficient is
positive.

Answer 5

When you have \(\large\color{slate}{ f(x)=(-x+1)^3(x+2)^2(x-3) }\).

\(\large\color{slate}{ f(x)=(-x+1)^3 }\)
yields a degree of 3,

when you multiply it times \(\large\color{slate}{ (x+2)^2 }\)
you have (the biggest) power of \(\large\color{slate}{ 5 }\)

then when you multiply all "that" (which will have the degree of 5) times \(\large\color{slate}{ (x-3) }\)
then your degree will go up by 1.

Answer 6

so your biggest power would be?

Answer 7

6?

Answer 8

Answer 9

@ribhu

Answer 10

yes, 6 is the degree

Answer 11

so your answer is?

Answer 12

The degree of the function is 6,
and the leading coefficient is
negative.

Answer 13

yes.

Answer 14

also, the leading coefficient is negative, because you are multiplying all positive X's besides -x in the first term which with it's odd power (of 3) will still be negative
