    2. 4 , r super 1 third end super
    3. open 4 r close super 1 third end super
    4. cube root of 4 r end root ,
  2. Assume that there are no more turning points beyond those shown. Which graph CANNOT be the graph of a fourth degree polynomial?
    1. A w-shaped graph falls through quadrants 2 and 3 to a vertex at the y-axis, rises to a vertex in quadrant 4, and falls to a vertex in quadrant 4, before rising through quadrant 1.
    2. An m-shaped curve rises to a vertex in quadrant 2, falls to a vertex on the y-axis, rises to a vertex in quadrant 1 before falling through quadrant 4.
    3. A downward-opening parabola rises through the positive x and y-axis to a vertex in quadrant 1, and then falls through the positive x-axis.
    4. An n-shaped graph falls through quadrant 2 to a vertex in quadrant 3, rises to a vertex in quadrant 1, and then falls through quadrant 4.
  3. A florist is arranging a bouquet of daisies and tulips. He wants twice as many daisies as tulips in the bouquet. If the bouquet contains 24 flowers, how many daisies are in the bouquet?
