The DEGREE of this polynomial is 4+2+1, by adding all of the exponents of the three different binomial factors.
The leading coefficient is positive.
Therefore the right end goes up, as x increases toward infinity,
and the left end goes down, as x decreases toward negative infinity.
RULE: ODD degree, one end rises, other end falls, depending on leading coefficient.
