Here we see the the graphs of four polynomial functions.
{{CMD_106}}
{{ENV_107}}
{{CMD_108}}
For each of the curves, determine if the polynomial has
{{CMD_109}}even{{CMD_110}} or {{CMD_111}}odd{{CMD_112}} degree, and if the leading coefficient
(the one next to the highest power of {{MATH_113}}) of the polynomial is
{{CMD_114}}positive{{CMD_115}} or {{CMD_116}}negative{{CMD_117}}.

{{CMD_121}} Curve {{MATH_122}} is defined by an
{{CMD_123}}{{CMD_124}}even{{CMD_125}}{{CMD_126}}odd{{CMD_127}}{{CMD_128}} degree
polynomial with a {{CMD_129}}{{CMD_130}}positive{{CMD_131}}{{CMD_132}}negative{{CMD_133}}{{CMD_134}}
leading term.
{{CMD_135}} Curve {{MATH_136}} is defined by an
{{CMD_137}}{{CMD_138}}even{{CMD_139}}{{CMD_140}}odd{{CMD_141}}{{CMD_142}} degree
polynomial with a
{{CMD_143}}{{CMD_144}}positive{{CMD_145}}{{CMD_146}}negative{{CMD_147}}{{CMD_148}} leading
term.
{{CMD_149}} Curve {{MATH_150}} is defined by an
{{CMD_151}}{{CMD_152}}even{{CMD_153}}{{CMD_154}}odd{{CMD_155}}{{CMD_156}} degree
polynomial with a {{CMD_157}}{{CMD_158}}positive{{CMD_159}}{{CMD_160}}negative{{CMD_161}}{{CMD_162}}
leading term.
{{CMD_163}} Curve {{MATH_164}} is defined by an
{{CMD_165}}{{CMD_166}}even{{CMD_167}}{{CMD_168}}odd{{CMD_169}}{{CMD_170}} degree
polynomial with a {{CMD_171}}{{CMD_172}}positive{{CMD_173}}{{CMD_174}}negative{{CMD_175}}{{CMD_176}}
leading term.
