06 2-6 Polynomial functions and their degree
A polynomial function is f(x) = aₙxⁿ + … + a₁x + a₀ with aₙ ≠ 0; n is the degreeand aₙ the leading coefficient.
Names by degree: 1 linear, 2 quadratic, 3 cubic; constants have degree 0.
The end behaviour follows the leading term: even degree with a positive coefficient rises on both sides; odd degree with a positive coefficient falls to the left and rises to the right.
