Which parameter in numpy.polyfit(x, y, deg) specifies the degree of the polynomial?
Ax
Bdeg
Cy
DNone of the above
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify parameters in polyfit

    The function polyfit takes x and y as data points, and deg as the polynomial degree.
  2. Step 2: Match parameter to polynomial degree

    The deg parameter controls the degree of the polynomial to fit.
  3. Final Answer:

    deg -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Degree parameter = deg [OK]
Quick Trick: Degree is always the third argument in polyfit [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing x or y as degree
  • Using wrong parameter order
  • Assuming degree is optional
