PLeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee helppppppppppppppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Which statement best describes the degree and the leading coefficient of the polynomial whose graph is shown?
A) P(x) is of odd degree with a positive leading coefficient.
B) P(x) is of odd degree with a negative leading coefficient.
C) P(x) is of even degree with a positive leading coefficient.
D) P(x) is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient.

Answer 1

The answer is B, because the degree is the same number as the highest exponent in the equation, and the leading coefficient is negative because as x=∞, y=-∞.

Answer 2

The answer is B, because the degree is the same number as the highest exponent in the equation, and the leading coefficient is negative because as x=∞, y=-∞.
