Which equation MOST LIKELY matches the graph?

• y = x⁴ - x³ + 3x² + 2

• y = -x⁴ + x³ + 5x + 2

• y = x³ - 2x² + 1x + 3

• y = -x³ - 2x² + 1x + 3

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Select the two descriptions that best describe the polynomial FUNction's graph.

• Even degree

• Odd degree

• Positive leading coefficient

• Negative leading coefficient

Match the graph to the function

• f(x) = -2x⁶+9x²

• f(x) = x⁶-7x⁴+12x²-x-2

• f(x) = x⁶-3x³+x+2

• f(x) = -x⁶+5x⁴+3x-2

Match the graph to the function

• f(x)= -x²+3x+2

• f(x) = -x³+2

• f(x) = x³+2

• f(x) = ⅓x⁴-5x²+2

Remember to look at your roots, multiplicity, and end behavior!! Use your notes!

• y = ^_(x + 2)(x - 1)²

• y = -(x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = (x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = -x³
