triciaal · Answer

f(x) = 3x32 + 8x2 − 22x 
3x32?

jenniferjuice · Answer

96?

triciaal · Answer

no sorry i was wondering if you had a typo is that 3x^32?

you can also use shift 6 to get the symbol for exponent

triciaal · Answer

we are not doing any calculations here

jenniferjuice · Answer

okay i fixed it

triciaal · Answer

maybe it is correct 
the idea is that a large  positive exponent would get a   large positive  y value

aum · Answer

This is a polynomial of even degree (32) the end behavior of which will be identical to that of f(x) = x^2.  What is the end behavior of x^2 which is a parabola that opens upward?

jenniferjuice · Answer

so its either c or d ?

aum · Answer

This is what y = x^2 graph looks like.  As far as end behavior is concerned, ALL even degree polynomials will exhibit the same end behavior.
