Which of these is the relative maximum point in the graph?

• (-5, 0)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 6)

• (-1, -8)

What is the sign of the leading coefficient of the polynomial function whose graph appears at the left?

• positive leading coefficient

• negative leading coefficient

If the end behavior of a graph of the polynomial function rises both to the left and to the right, which of the following is true about the leading term?

• The leading coefficient is negative, the degree is even.

• The leading coefficient is positive, the degree is odd.

• The leading coefficient is negative, the degree is odd.

• The leading coefficient is positive, the degree is even.
