Why?
The degree of the function is 4.
Which is the leading term? Which term has the largest exponent?
The function has 4 terms.
Count the terms.
The function has a maximum of 3 turning points.
Qualitative knowledge about polynomial functions.
Degree 2, one turning point.
Degree 3, possible two turning points.
Degree 4, possible three turning points.
.
.
The leading coefficient is 1.
Leading coefficient goes with the term with the greatest degree. The constant term if any is at the opposite end of the polynomial in general form, and is the degree 0 term.
Those and the rest of these should be explained in your textbook for your course which seems to be College Algebra (or possibly PreCalculus).
