im confused how is that??? so would the end behavior if graphed be positive or negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so first, simplify the function. 2x^2 + 14x^2 - 2x - 14 would equal 16x^2 - 2x - 14. Graph it through a graphing program. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2x%5E2+%2B+14x%5E2+-+2x+-+14 The y-intercept is (0, -14).

Mehek (mehek14):

the end behavior is that it goes up, since (0,-14) is the minimum

oh the 2x exponent is suppose to be a 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3x cubed
