-odd-degree polynomials have ends that head off in opposite directions
-if they start "down" (entering the graphing "box" through the "bottom") and go "up" (leaving the graphing "box" through the "top"), they're positive polynomials;
-if they start "up" and go "down", they're negative polynomials
Since the leading coefficient of this odd-degree polynomial is negative, then its end-behavior is going to mimic a negative cubic:
