4. Polynomial Functions

Graph each function. Determine the largest open intervals of the domain over which each function is (a) increasing or (b) decreasing. ƒ(x)=(1/2)(x-2)²+4

For each polynomial function, identify its graph from choices A–F. ƒ(x)=-(x-2)(x-5)

Determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, identify the degree. $f\left(x\right)=(x^2+7)/x^3$

Determine if the given function is a polynomial function. If so, write in standard form, then state the degree and leading coefficient. $f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=4x^3+\(\frac\)12x^{-1}-2x+1$

Determine if the given function is a polynomial function. If so, write in standard form, then state the degree and leading coefficient. $f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=2+x$
