Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

1.

Cubic Polynomial--

A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree three.

2.

End behavior--

The end behavior of a function is it's behavior when x tends to infinity in both the directions i.e. when x tends to minus infinity and when x tends to plus infinity.

3.

Irreducible--

A polynomial is said to be irreducible if it can't be reduced i.e. it cannot be factored.

4.

Leading coefficient--

It is the coefficient of the highest degree term existing in the expression.

5.

Leading term--

It is the term with the highest degree.

6.

quartic polynomial-

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 4.

7.

Zeros of polynomial--

The zeros of a polynomial are all the possible values of x at which the polynomial expression is equal to zero.
