\

Observe the graph:

\

a.

\

Find the end behavior.

\

\"\"

\

Since end behavior is in opposite direction, hence the leading coefficient is negative.

\

b.

\

Degree of the function.

\

It is odd degree polynomial function.

\

c.

\

Find the number of real zeros.

\

The function touches the \"\"-axis at three points.

\

There are three \"\"-intercept and it has three real zero.

\

\"\"

\

End behavior is in opposite direction.

\

It is odd function.

\

It has three real zeros.
