For the following graph, determine if the graph represents a polynomial function. If it is a polynomial function, then determine the number of turning points and the least degree possible.


a.Yes, this graph represents a polynomial. There are two turning points and the least degree possible is three.

b.This is not a polynomial. There are no turning points as the curve represents an odd function.

c.Yes, this graph represents a polynomial. There are two turning points and the least degree possible is two.

d.This is not a polynomial. There are no turning points as the curve is always increasing.
