Polynomial Functions

What is the degree of the polynomial function
P(x)=3x⁴-7x²-2x⁷-x+4?

• 4
• 7
• 2
• 1

The polynomial is...

• Odd degree, positive leading coefficient.
• Odd degree, negative leading coefficient.
• Even degree, positive leading coefficient.
• Even degree, negative leading coefficient.

What is the degree?

• Positive
• Negative
• Odd
• Even

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree and the sign of the leading coefficient.
Identify the degree of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient 

• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Even
• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Odd
• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Even
• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Odd

Match the equation to the graph.

• y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4)
• y=(x+1)²(x-3)(x-1)³
• y = 3x³ – 2x + 1
• y=(x+1)³(x-3)(x-1)²
