The leading term is #-3x^5#

Explanation:

Since the exponent on the leading term is odd , the shape will follow a cubic . In addition, the coefficient on the leading term is negative which indicates the cubic will be flipped over the x-axis relative to a standard cubic (#x^3#)

This 5th degree polynomial will shoot out to positive infinity in Quadrant II, then off to negative infinity in Quadrant IV.

Here is a sketch
