Answer: y = 2x^4
The graph represents a parabolic-looking shape so it's either a quadratic or some even degree polynomial. This rules out y = -2x^3 and y = 2x^3 as they are cubics with odd degrees
The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent. It determines the end behavior. In this case, both ends are rising upward together. Because they are rising up in the positive y direction, this means that we cannot have y = -2x^4 as the answer. For example, if x = 2 then y = -2*x^4 = -2*2^4 = -32, but the point (x,y) = (2,-32) isn't on the blue curve. So we can rule y = -2x^4 out.
The fact that y = 2x^4 has a positive leading coefficient tells us that the endpoints point upward.
Answer:
Mickey
Step-by-step explanation:
Mickey is correct because if you look at the number 45.7654 whenever you round to the nearest thousandth it'll be 45.765
5 is the thousandth place so look to the right. If the number to the right is greater than 5 it'll round to 47.766 but since it's a four ti rounds down.
