Question

Consider the leading term of the polynomial function. What is the end behavior of the graph?
2x^7 – 8x^6 – 3x^5 – 3

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is up and up.

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and down.

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up.

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is up and down.

Answer 1

as the graph goes to -infinity, the y values decrease. As the graph goes to +infinity, the y values increase. since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up, assuming the first direction means as it goes to -infinity and the second means as it goes to +infinity

Answer 2

Thanks , I see now (:
