Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the number of zeros

The graph crosses the x-axis at three points. Therefore, the polynomial has 3 zeros.

Step 2: Determine the number of factors

Since the polynomial has 3 zeros, it must have at least 3 factors.

Step 3: Determine the degree of the polynomial

The degree of the polynomial is at least the number of zeros. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is at least 3.

Final Answer

The smallest possible degree that the polynomial whose graph is shown can have is 3.
