Leading term test for polynomial end behavior :
The end behavior of any non-constant polynomial function 
can be described in one of the following four ways, as determined by the degree 
of the polynomial and its leading coefficient 
.
For odd and positive :
and 
.
For odd and negative :
and 
.
For even and positive :
and .
For even and negative :
and .
Observe the graph of the function :
The end behavior of the graph is and .
So the degree of the polynomial function
is even and leading coefficient
is negative.
is even and is negative.
