Question

consider the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph?
2x^7-8x^6-3x^5-3

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

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

c. the leading term is 2x^7.since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up

d. the leading term is 2x^7.since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is up and down.

Answer 1

C. the leading term is 2x^7.since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up

Because as the graph goes to -infinity, the y values decrease. As the graph goes to +infinity, the y values increase. since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up, assuming the first direction means as it goes to -infinity and the second means as it goes to +infinity

Answer 2

Does this make sense??
