well, geez. It says "turns" 3 times. How many max/minima is that?
It's concave up, then down, then up again, so two inflections.
It is of even degree, since it goes up on both ends.
You can see that if it were shifted down a bit, it would have four roots, right?
Consider the graph of f(x) as shown.
Graph of f of x. The curve approaches infinity as x approaches negative infinity, then passes through the point (-3.45, 0), turns at about (-3.05, -2.03), passes through (-2.51, 0), then turns again at (-1.39, 4.62), passes through and turns at (-0.06, 0.97), then passes through (0,1) and continues up towards infinity as x approaches infinity.
The graph of f(x) shows _[blank 1]_ local maxima or minima and _[blank 2]_ inflection points, so the degree of f(x) is most likely _[blank 3]_.
