1. a. Pretty much, you just have to rearrange it so that the highest power is in the front. So, here's your answer:
b. It's a 4th-degree polynomial. A degree means that "what's the highest power?"
c. It's a trinomial. It has 3 terms, hence it's a trinomial.
2. a. Since it's an odd power and a negative coefficient, it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→∞
b. The degree is even and the coefficient is negative, so it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→-∞
3. a. This basically means that if you solve for x, you should get -2, 1, and 2. So, to do this, you can just write it in factored form and multiply inwards using any method of your choice (remember that in the parentheses, you should get the above value if you solve for x):
If you multiply it out, you get (also your answer):
4. The zeros are at x = 3, 2 and -7. Multiplicity of 3 is 1, for 2 it's 2, and for -7 it's 3.
Hope this helps!
