Precalculus Characteristics of Polynomial Functions

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
