Explanation / Answer

We know that:

1. For a polynomial of Even degree,

i) If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises both to the right and the left;

ii) If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls both to the right and the left;

2. For a polynomial of Odd degree,

i) If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises to the right and falls to the left;

ii) If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls to the right and rises to the left;

In the given question

a) The polynomial is of even degree with a positive leading coefficient. Therefore,  the graph rises both to the right and the left;

b) The polynomial is of odd degree with a positive leading coefficient. Therefore,  the graph rises to the right and falls to the left;

c)The polynomial is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient. Therefore,  the graph falls both to the right and the left.
