Let's answer c first. The turning points are where the function changes direction. How many times does it do that?

anonymous · Answer

twice?

anonymous · Answer

yes. 
now go back and do A. 
The least possible degree is 1 more than the number of turning points

anonymous · Answer

awesome :D
okay, so does it make it 2?

anonymous · Answer

the turning points are 2.
the degree is 3
and then for b. use this|dw:1441912816258:dw|
