  1. Determine Turning Points: To determine the number of turning points, we need the degree of the polynomial. Since we don't have the polynomial, we can't find the exact number of turning points. However, the number of turning points is at most one less than the degree of the polynomial.
  2. Estimate XX-Intercepts: For estimating xx-intercepts, we need the actual polynomial or its graph. Without it, we can't estimate the xx-intercepts.
  3. Determine Sign of 'a': To know if a>0a > 0 or a<0a < 0, we need to know the leading coefficient of the polynomial. Without the polynomial, we can't determine the sign of 'aa'.
  4. Infer Minimum Degree: The minimum degree of the polynomial can be inferred from the number of turning points. If we had the number of turning points, we could say the minimum degree is one more than the number of turning points.
