Expert Solution

Given
The graph of a polynomial of 3 degree has at most 2 turns and 3 intersections with the x-axis.
If the degree of a polynomial is odd then the positive coefficient of odd degree represents that the up branch of the polynomial is on the right side and the lower branch is on the left.
