Both the general shape of a polynomial and its end behavior are heavily influenced by the term with the largest exponent. The most complex behavior will be near the origin, as all terms impact this behavior, but as the graph extends farther into positive and/or negative infinity, the behavior is almost totally defined by the first term. When sketching the general shape of a function, the most accurate method (if you cannot use a calculator) is to solve for some representative points (find y at x= 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20). If you connect the points with a smooth curve, you can make projections about where the graph is headed at either end.
 End behavior is given by:
1. x^4. Terms with even exponents have endpoints at positive y ∞ for positive and negative x infinity. 
2. -2x^2. The negative sign simply reflects x^2 over the x-axis, so the end behavior extends to negative y ∞ for positive and negative x ∞. The scalar, 2, does not impact this.
3. -x^5. Terms with odd exponents have endpoints in opposite directions, i.e. positive y ∞ for positive x ∞ and negative y ∞ for negative x ∞. Because of the negative sign, this specific graph is flipped over the x-axis and results in flipped directions for endpoints.
4. -x^2. Again, this would originally have both endpoints at positive y ∞ for positive and negative x ∞, but because of the negative sign, it is flipped to point towards negative y ∞.

The equation y=x^2-12x+45 models the number of books y sold in a bookstore x days after an award-winning author appeared at an a
romanna [79]
Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.

To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.

You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45

Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
