ALGEBRA 2, ILL BECOME A FAN!!! really need help with 2 questions i am having problems with

1.consider the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph?

a.the leading term is -3x^5. since n is odd and a is negative the end behavior is up and up.

b.the leading term is -3x^5. since n is odd and a is negative the end behavior is down and down.

c.the leading term is -3x^5. since n is odd and a is negative the end behavior is up and down

d.the leading term is -3x^5. since n is odd and a is negative the end behavior is down and up

In an experiment, a petri dish with a colony of bacteria is exposed to cold temperatures and then warmed again.

Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Population:5.1   3.03   1.72   1.17    1.38   2.35   4.08

a.find a quadratic model for the data in the table. 

b. use the model to estimate the population of bacteria in 9hrs.
