PLEASE HELP WILL FAN AND MEDAL AND TESTIMONY

Write each polynomial function in standard form, classify it by degree, and determine the end behavior of its graph. a. y=12-x^4

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

b. y = 2x^3 - 6x + 3x^2 - x^4 + 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just put it order of highest degree to lowest degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. for example is -x^4+12. And its 4th degree

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

I need to show all the work btw! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now for the graph ask yourself what does the graph of an even function look like?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

It would be symmetrical right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but its a special shape. Do you know what x^2 looks like?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

it's a symmetrical curve

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

I forget the name

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

quadratic. right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's called a parabola and x^4 is the same symmetrical curve but x^4 is thinner

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

yes! parabola. ah, okay so how would I answer that then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since in this case its negative x^4 it would be upside down

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

but what is the end behavior? what does that mean again?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

-x^4+12; 4th degree; ??? I don't know what to write

OpenStudy (anonymous):

End behavior is describing what happens as the ends of the functions go off to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll see if i can find a video that explains it clearly
