Question 891241
<i>"HELP IM COMPLETELY LOST"</i>


Why?


&#61600;       <i> The degree of the function is 4.</i>
Which is the leading term?  Which term has the largest exponent?


&#61600;	<i>The function has 4 terms.</i>
Count the terms.


&#61600;	<i>The function has a maximum of 3 turning points.</i>
Qualitative knowledge about polynomial functions.
Degree 2, one turning point.
Degree 3, possible two turning points.
Degree 4, possible three turning points.
.
.


&#61600;	<i>The leading coefficient is 1.</i>
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).
...
&#61600;	The function is an odd function.
&#61600;	The end behavior is up and up.
&#61600;	The type of graph is a quadratic function.
&#61600;	f(1) = -3.
