Question

Use the key features of the polynomial f(x) = -4x^4 + 4x^3 + 9x^2 – 12x + 10 to describe its end behavior.

Answer 1

Answer:

The left side continues down, and the right side continues down

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -4x⁴ + 4x³ + 9x² – 12x + 10

The leading term (-4x⁴) has an even exponent and a negative coefficient.

Since the exponent is even, the left and right ends will continue in the same direction.

Since the coefficient is negative, both ends will continue down.
