Question

In Problems 61–64, identify which of the graphs could be the graph of a polynomial function. For those that could, list the real zeros and state the least degree the polynomial function can have. For those that could not, say why not .

Short answer

• This graph does not represent the graph of polynomial function because given graph is not smooth.

Step-by-step solution

. Given information  

Graph of the function:

Step 2. To determine weather  the graph is of a polynomial function. 

The graph cannot be the graph of a polynomial function because of the cusp at $x=0$. Remember, the graph of a polynomial function is smooth.
