Step 1
a.Degree:2(highest-degree monomial is 12x2).
Leading coefficient: 12(coefficient of highest-degree monomial)
End behavior: y as x± (even-degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient)
Maximum number of zeros: 2(same as degree)
Maximum number of turning points: 1(one less than degree)

Step 2
b. Degree:5(product of 5 linear factors)
Leading coefficient: 1(product of coefficient of x terms)
End behavior: y  as x.y as  (odd-degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient)
Maximum number of zeros: 5(same as degree)
Maximum number of turning points: 4 (one less than degree)
image Step 3
c. Degree: 3 (degree of highest-degree monomial x3)
Leading coefficient: 1(coefficient of highest-degree monomial)
End behavior: y as x.y as x (odd-degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient)
Maximum number of zeros: 3 (same as degree)
Maximum number of turning points: 2 (one less than degree)
