Choice can be found in be made out in picture be found in picture; obvious polynomial
picture or picture is after much looking; picture is visually nice shape; picture is
inappropriate picture is appropriate and appropriate visually appealing and
appropriate

Plotted There are no or only a A few points Most points All points necessary
Points few random points necessary to the necessary to create a to make polynomial
plotted polynomial are plotted polynomial are plotted are plotted and points
on the picture; most on the picture; points are in exactly the right
points plotted are are mostly in the right place to match with
mostly in the right place (i.e. on max/min the picture
place, but a few too points, points of
far away from the inflection)
place that matches
the picture

Polynomial The graph in the Polynomial matched Polynomial matched Polynomial matched
Degree picture is not a to picture could have to picture has a to picture has an
polynomial a more fitting degree degree that is close to appropriate degree
fitting the pictures

Polynomial There is no Polynomial shape Polynomial matched Polynomial matched

Shape polynomial matched only matches the to picture has a shape to picture has
to the picture pictures image in a that is close to fitting perfectly fits the
few places the pictures image shape of the pictures
