The Leading Coefficient Test is the test which enables you to discover thebehavior of the graph in terms of rising and falling. This test utilizes the leading coefficientand whether the degree is odd or even to determine the behavior of the curves. The test goes as follows:
In this problem the leading coefficient is positive and even
so
the graph rises to the left and rises to the right.
