Consider the leading term of the polynomial function. What is the end behavior of the graph?
2x^7 – 8x^6 – 3x^5 – 3

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is up and up.

The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and down.

Because the first term has an odd power (odd function) and the coefficient on the first term is positive, the graph will trend from down and left to up and right.
