To complete the square, the second degree term must have a coefficient of 1.
Since the second degree term here has a coefficient of 4, we start by dividing each term on both sides by 4.



Now we can complete the square.
First, we need to find what number completes the square.
We take the coefficient of the first degree term, -7 in this case.
Divide it by 2 and square it. -7 divided by 2 is the fraction -7/2.
Now we square -7/2 to get 49/4.
We add 49/4 to both sides.



Answer:
4th degree polynomial with leading coefficient of 1.
As x goes to negative or positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity in both cases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on the variable. Here it is 4.
The leading coefficient is the coefficient on the the term with the highest degree, Here there is none so it is 1.
The end behavior is how x and y behave at negative and positive infinity. When graphed, this equation has a W shape. This means at each end y goes to positive infinity.
The line with a slope of 3 is steeper, they are alike because both are at a positive incline.
