Question

Brandy is asked to sketch a graph of a polynomial of degree 9. How many turning points should her sketch include?(1 point) Responses eight at most eight at most nine at most nine at most seven at most seven at most ten at most

Answer 1

The maximum number of turning points of a polynomial is one less than its degree. For a polynomial of degree 9, the maximum number of turning points will be \(9 - 1 = 8\).

Therefore, Brandy's sketch should include **eight at most** turning points.
