HELP PLEASE WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK HOPEFULLY ITS NOT TOO MUCH!

1)

Minimum is a 4th Degree

2)

Positive; Even

3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The minimum degree of our function will be 4.

Looking at the graph, we know that the graph crosses the x-axis at -4 and -1. Since it crosses through the x-axis at these two points, these two factors must have an odd multiplicity.

So, it can be anything 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.

However, we will choose the lowest one, 1.

Next, we know that the graph bounces off at 3.

So, it must have an even multiplicity. In other words, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.

We choose the lowest one, 2.

Therefore, the minimum degree of our function will be 1+1+2 or 4.

Part 2)

The degree of our polynomial is (and will always be) even. Therefore, both ends of the graph will go in the same direction.

Recall the simplest even polynomial, the parent quadratic function. When the leading coefficient is positive, both of the ends go straight up.

This applies to all polynomials with even degrees.

Therefore, since the arms of the graph is going straight up towards positive infinity, the leading coefficient of our graph must be positive.

Part 3)

This is similar to Part 1.

We can see that the graph touches the x-axis at -4, -3, and 1. So, the zeros of the function is:

We know that it passes through . So, these two factors must have an odd multiplicity.

However, since the graph bounces off , this factor must have an even multiplicity.

And we're done!

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:
