One of the curve has three zeros at
,
and
.
Since curve has three
-intercepts it is a third degree polynomial.
The curve has zeros at
and
.
Since curve has two
-intercepts it is a second degree polynomial.
The curve has zero at
.
Since curve has one
-intercept it is a first degree polynomial.
The third degree polynomial be the original function
.
The derivative of a cubic function is a second degree function that means
is a quadratic function.
The derivative of a second degree function is a first degree function means
is a linear function.
Therefore third degree polynomial is correspond to
.
Simillarly second degree is correspond to
.
First degree is correspond to
.
