    With the f (x) = x^2 - 2x + 1 there is an even degree polynomial as the highest degree here is 2 and there is a positive leading coefficient as the coefficient for the highest degree is considered to be 1. Therefore all statements for f (x) is false.

    With g (x) = x^3 + 1 there is an odd degree polynomial as x is raised to 3 and there is a positive leading coefficient as x^3 is multiplied to 1. Therefore only the fourth statement holds to be true
