Question

The degree of the function f(x) = -(x + 1)2(2x − 3)(x + 2)2 is , and its y-intercept is

Answer 1

Answer:12 is y intercept and 3rd degree polynomial.

Explanation:

The degree of the function is the heighest x power. This can simply be calculated by seeing that there are 3 xs, so it is a 3rd degree polynomial.

The y intercept is when x=0

Plugging in x = 0

-1 * -3 * 2 * 2= 12
