2. analyze the following graph a. what is the least possible degree of the polynomial function ? b. what is the sign of the leading coefficient ? c. how many turning points does the graph show? d. what is the y-intercept of the graph? e. describe the end behavior of the graph.

Graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x’y’z’. describe the transformation using words. draw a line segment from point x to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point x’ to the reflecting line. what do you notice about the two line segments you drew? do you think you would see the same characteristics if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y’ with the reflecting line? how do you know?
