Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
The end behaviour is what happens when x gets larger and positive ( right hand end ) or larger and negative ( left hand end ) Tis is called the end behaviour as x → + ∞ and x → - ∞ respectively
For a polynomial the end behaviour is determined by the term of greatest degree.
For the given function
f(x) =
- 3x³ + 2x + 4 ← degree 5 polynomial
The leading coefficient is positive
• Odd degree, positive leading coefficient, then
as x → - ∞, f(x) → - ∞
as x → + ∞, f(x) → + ∞
----------------------------------------------------------------------
• Odd degree, negative leading coefficient, then
as x → - ∞, f(x) → f(x) → + ∞
as x → + ∞, f(x) → - ∞
