Question

The graph of certain polynomials are given here. Match the graph to the degree of the polynomial.

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5

Answer 1

(i) Here, the number of times the graph cuts the x axis is 4. Hence, it is the graph of a quadratic polynomial and its degree will be 4.

(ii) Here, the number of times the graph cuts the x axis is 5.
Hence, this is the graph of a polynomial with degree 5.

(iii) Here, the number of times the graph cuts the x axis is 3.
Hence, it is the graph of a cubic polynomial and its degree will be 3.
