HI!!

misty1212 · Answer

pick the one with the same degree

anonymous · Answer

What do you mean with the same degree?

misty1212 · Answer

if you multiplied $f(x)=(x+3)^4(x-3)^2$ out, what would the highest exponent be? (you don't have to multiply it to see the answer)

anonymous · Answer

Ok, so would you add the 4 and 2 or would you multiply the 4 and 2?

misty1212 · Answer

when you multiply you would add the exponents

anonymous · Answer

so it's y=x^6

misty1212 · Answer

yes
