1.the graph of the polynomial equation y=6x3-5x+2 is shown below.

a. identify the terms in the polynomial expression, 6x3-5x+2, on the right of the equation and give the degree of each term.

b. identify the coefficients of the polynomial expression above.

c. is the polynomial expression in ascending or descending order? explain why.

d. identify the degree of the polynomial expression.

e. classify the polynomial expression as a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or none of these. explain why.

f. if a coefficient is 0, we generally do not write the term. we say that term is a missing term. does the polynomial expression have a missing term? if so, what is it?

g. use only the graph to estimate the value of the polynomial (y) when x = -1, x = 0, x = 1.

h. for what values of x does the graph appear to change direction (up to down and then down to up)?

2. give an example of each of the following:
monomial
binomial
trinomial
polynomial
monomial term with degree 3
polynomial with degree 2
coefficient

3.
a. what type of polynomial is 2x + 5 ?

b. what type of polynomial is 3x2 - 5x + 1 ?

c. what is the degree of the polynomial: 3x2y + 5xy ?
