To sketch: The graph of all the possible end behavior of polynomials of odd degree and of even degree.
Explanation of Solution
The end behavior of the polynomial is determined by the degree n and the sign of the leading coefficient.
The end behavior of a polynomial describes the behavior of the graph of function at the end of the x-axis.
For positive leading coefficient and odd degree the end behavior is,
The graph is below
