Identify
X -intercepts - set equal to zero and solve for y,
Y - intercept - substitutes zero for x and solve
Domain is all real numbers,
Range --Even - Restricted
-- Odd - All real numbers
End Behavior --Even - Both up or Down
--Odd - Alternate Directions
depends on sign of Leading Coefficient
Symmetry - Odd --> f(-x) = -f(x) Even--> f(-x) = -f(x)
