To find the degree of a function is to add up how many x's are in the problem.
If the degree is an odd number it is odd; if it is an even number it is even.
To tell if a graph is odd or even you have to see if it goes through or bounces.
If it is even it will bounce, it if it is odd it will go through.

| Equation | Degree | Odd/Even | +/- Coefficient | End Behavior |
|
|
3 | Odd | + | Down-Up |
Starts from the bottom,
passes through 0 bounces back at 3.
| Equation | Degree | Odd/Even | +/- Coefficient | End Behavior |
|
|
4 | Even | + | Bounce |
Starts from the top, passes through -4,
passes through 0, bounces at 3, and goes up
| Equation | Degree | Odd/Even | +/- Coefficient | End Behavior |
|
|
6 | Even | - | Down-down |
Starts from the bottom, bounces at -3,
passes through -1, bounces at 0, and goes down
| Equation | Degree | Odd/Even | +/- Coefficient | End Behavior |
|
|
5 | Odd | - | Up-Down |
Starts from the top, bounces at -4,
passes thru 2, and goes down

|
|
4 | Even | - | Down-Down |
Starts from the bottom, bounces at 0,
bounces at 3, and goes down

| Equation | Degree | Odd/Even | +/- Coefficient | End Behavior |
|
|
6 | Even | + | Down-Up |
Starts from the top, bounces at -2, passes through -1, passes through 3.
