The graphed polynomial seems to have a degree of 2, so the degree can be 4 and not 5.
<h3>
Could the graphed function have a degree 4?</h3>
For a polynomial of degree N, we have (N - 1) changes of curvature.
This means that a quadratic function (degree 2) has only one change (like in the graph).
Then for a cubic function (degree 3) there are two, and so on.
So. a polynomial of degree 4 should have 3 changes. Naturally, if the coefficients of the powers 4 and 3 are really small, the function will behave like a quadratic for smaller values of x, but for larger values of x the terms of higher power will affect more, while here we only see that as x grows, the arms of the graph only go upwards (we don't know what happens after).
Then we can write:
y = a*x^4 + c*x^2 + d
That is a polynomial of degree 4, but if we choose x^2 = u
y = a*u^2 + c*u + d
So it is equivalent to a quadratic polynomial.
Then the graph can represent a function of degree 4 (but not 5, as we can't perform the same trick with an odd power).

Let one piece be x inches long then the other piece is 180-x inches long.
3x > 4 (180-x)
3x > 720 - 4x
7x > 720
x > 103 6/7 ins
the 2 pieces could be 107 inches and 180-107 = 73 inches
Answer:
If it only moves 8 units up then you'll end up at (-5, 4). Your x value or position remains same for it didn't move right nor left.
Answer:
Its hard to see but the points are at
(-1,5) (0,2) (0,4)
