What is the difference between even and odd degree polynomials?

Back

Even degree polynomials have the same end behavior on both sides (both up or both down), while odd degree polynomials have opposite end behavior (one side up and the other down).

Front

What does it mean for a polynomial to have a positive leading coefficient?

Back

A polynomial with a positive leading coefficient will rise to the right and may rise to the left if the degree is even.
