Step 1
The graphs of the Odd Degree Polynomial Functions will depend mainly on the Leading Coefficient.
If it is Positive the graph will expand feom quadrant 3 to quadrant 1 i.e. like to the graph of y=x
On the other hand, If it is Negative the graph will expand from quadrant 2 to quadrant 4 i.e. like to the graph of y=x

Step 4 The Graphs of the Even Degree Polynomial Functions will depend mainly on the Leading Coefficient.
If it is Positive the graph will expand from quadrant 2 to quadrant 1 i.e. like to the graph of y=x2.
On the other hand, If it is Negative the graph will expand from quadrant 3 to quadrant 4 i.e. like to the graph of y=x2
