Which is true for the relationship between the degree of a polynomial function and its graph? choose all that apply. the degree of a polynomial function is always 2. the degree determines whether the left and right sides point in the same or opposite direction (even degree vs. odd degree). there is no relationship between the degree of a polynomial function and its graph. the number of bends is at most one less than the degree. the number of bends is one more than highest power in the equation.

The degree of a polynomial function is always 2. FALSE:THE DEGREE OF A POLYOMIAL MAY BE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, ANY INTEGER NUMBER. IT IS THE GREATEST EXPONENT OF THE FUNCTIO.

The degree determines whether the left and right sides point in the same or opposite direction (even degree vs. odd degree). TRUE: FOR EXAMPLE THE ENDS OF A SECOND DEGREE POLYNOMIAL POINT IN THE SAME DIRECTION (BOTH DOWNWARD OR BOTH UPWARD) WHILE THE ENDS OF A THIRD DEGREE POLYNOMIAL POINT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

There is no relationship between the degree of a polynomial function and its graph. FALSE, AS EXPLAINED ABOVE.

The number of bends is at most one less than the degree. TRUE: FOR EXAMPLE A SECOND DEGREE POLYOMIAL HAS ONE BEND WHILE A THIRD DEGREE POLYNOMIAL MAY HAVE AT MOST TWO BENDS.

The number of bends is one more than highest power in the equation. FALSE, AS STATED ABOVE.
