The first coefficient determines how wide or skinny the graph is. The larger numbers make the graph skinnier, the smaller ones make the graph wider.
The number of terms determines the number of roots that the graph has

- 5 and 9 are to the same degree (6th), and have the same shape (except for the size and proportions): down, up, down, up, down, up
- 1 and 2 are to the same degree (4th), have the same shape (except for flipped)
- graphs with the same degree have similar shaped graphs
- odd degrees have one end going up and one end going down
- even degrees have both sides going up or down

-The first term determines which way it faces

-The power that x is raised to in the final expanded equation determines how many times it crosses the x-axis
-the larger the first term outside of parenthesis the skinnier or fatter the graph will be

-negative 1st term > faces down
-number of factors = number of roots (unlike what Table 1 said, which is that it's the power of X in the final expanded equation equals the number of roots. We can disprove their claim by looking at Equation 9).
-first term size determines width (larger > skinnier)
-The number of powers of X in the expanded equation is equal to the number of times the equation changes directions (up or down). For example, Equation 9 (our favorite equation), which expands to having an x^6 value at the front, changes directions 5 times.

They all have a number
outside the parenthesis
and the that term depends on which way the graph is going

-The first term determines which way it faces (negative faces down, positive faces up)
-The power that x is raised to in the final expanded equation determines how many times it crosses the x-axis
-the larger the first term outside of parenthesis the skinnier the graph will be
-table 5 stop paraphrasing our work

- Everything in a parentheses, when set equal to zero, the x is an intercept
- The larger the term outside of the first parentheses, the skinnier the graph is
- The number of "x"s in the equation is equal to the number of x intercepts
- The first term determines whether the graph faces up or down
