Which expression is a possible leading term for the polynomial function graphed below? –18x^14 –10x^7 17x^12 22x^9

represent the given graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given graph :  polynomial function graphed .

To find : Which expression is a possible leading term for the polynomial function .

Solution : We have given that

Graph with left end down and right end up.

By the end point behavior : If the degree of polynomial function is odd and leading coefficient is positive then left end is down and right end is up.

We can see from the given option

It has degree = 9 (odd )

Leading coefficient  = 22 ( positive ).

Therefore, represent the given graph.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
