anonymous · Answer

So for my first one it would be
Odd and positive so what do I say the end behavior is? Up?

geerky42 · Answer

is 2 odd?

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused on what a coefficient is so...

geerky42 · Answer

To determine the end behavior of a polynomial function, you would need to know whether degree is even or odd and whether leading coefficient is positive or negative.

degree is term with greatest exponent and leading coefficient is number right next to term with degree
