You can put this solution on YOUR website! Leading coefficients are obvious. Learn the qualities of polynomial function for their peaks & valleys, and the end behaviors.
Look at your examples.
1:
Positive lead coefficient, odd degree. What does this mean?
2:
Negative lead coefficient, even degree. What does this mean?
