Question

Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the end behavior of the graph of the polynomial whose equation is 
f(x) = -3x^3 -3x^2 + 3x + 4


rises to the left and falls to the right
		
falls to the left and rises to the right
		
rises to the left and rises to the right
		
falls to the left and falls to the right

anonymous · Answer

Rises to the left and falls to the right. When the leading coefficient (ie. -3) is negative and the highest degree (ie. x^3 is the highest degree in this polynomial) is odd, the end behaviour will rise to the left and fall to the right.
