She still likes to cheat a little and will enjoy the occasional bad meal with an ice cream dream dessert and then miss the gym for a couple of days. Given in the table is Jennifer’s weight for a period of 8 months. Her weight can be modeled as a polynomial. Plot these data. How many turning points are there? Assuming these are the minimum number of turning points, what is the lowest degree polynomial that can represent Jennifer’s weight?
