F(x)=-x^5+x^2-x

@LarsEighner damn, then i dont know what im doing

What happens when x is a large negative number?

anonymous · Answer

@LarsEighner I'm not sure.

larseighner · Answer

Okay.  The 5th power will "over power" the others for values with absolute value greater than 1.  So if x is a negative number, what does -x^5 look like?

anonymous · Answer

@LarsEighner its its negative also yeah.

larseighner · Answer

No. The sign of an odd power of x is the same as the sign of x.  But in this case there is also a - in front of the 5th power of x.  So what is -x^5 like when x is a large negative number?
