If it’s 5 times you would multiply 8000 x 5 which is 40,000.
The elephant lost 4 pounds each month. Because he is losing weight, and not gaining weight, you have to make the answer negative
To determine end behavior, we only have to look at the leading term.
First, the leading term is positive, so we won't have to negate anything.
The leading term has a power that is odd.
Since the exponent is odd, this means that the function goes to positive infinity as x goes to positive infinity.
This also means that the function goes to negative infinity as x goes to negative infinity.
Those are the end behaviors.
Have an awesome day! :)
