what is the
degree of
the polynomial that generates the given data?
[X 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 f(x)] 11, 3, -5, -13, -21 a. linear model
b. cubid modle
c. quadratic model
d. none of these
The values of x go up by a constant 2 while the values of f(x) decrease by a constant -8 so that is a constant slope of -4, so it is linear ( degree 1).
