<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
1)
f(x)→ ∞ when x→∞ or x→ -∞.
2)
when x→ ∞ then f(x)→ -∞
and when x→ -∞ then f(x)→ ∞
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
<em>" The </em><em>end behavior</em><em> of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of as approaches positive infinity or negative infinity. The degree and the leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine the end behavior of the graph "</em>
1)
a 14th degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient.
Let f(x) be the polynomial function.
Since the degree is an even number and also the leading coefficient is positive so when we put negative or positive infinity to the function i.e. we put x→∞ or x→ -∞ ; it will always lead the function to positive infinity
i.e. f(x)→ ∞ when x→∞ or x→ -∞.
2)
a 9th degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient.
As the degree of the polynomial is odd and also the leading coefficient is negative.
Hence when x→ ∞ then f(x)→ -∞ since the odd power of x will take it to positive infinity but the negative sign of the leading coefficient will take it to negative infinity.
When x→ -∞ then f(x)→ ∞; since the odd power of x will take it to negative infinity but the negative sign of the leading coefficient will take it to positive infinity.
Hence, when x→ ∞ then f(x)→ -∞
and when x→ -∞ then f(x)→ ∞
It's a proportion.
2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.
Multiply the means and extremes
15x = 18
divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.
x = 1.2
Check the picture below.
of course, that's the slope simplified, now, taking a peek at the non-simplified slopes that are shaded, the larger triangle will have a larger "run" and a larger "rise" and thus a larger slope than the smaller one.
So we can say that from the origin to A, the non-simplified slope is larger than from A to B.
