Determine if the graph can represent a polynomial function. If so, assume that the end behavior and all turning points are represented in the graph. (a) If the graph is a polynomial, determine the minimum degree of the polynomial. (b) If the graph is a polynomial, determine whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative based on the end behavior and whether the degree of the polynomial is odd or even. (c) If the graph is a polynomial, approximate the real zeros of the function, and determine if their multiplicities are even or odd.
