Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.

We now have our equation:

x + x + 1 = 53

Now solve for x.

x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26

So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.

considering the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph? describe the end behavior and pr

mario62 [17]

The leading term of polynomial function is the the term contain highest degree so here in the given question leading term is $-3x^5$

and leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with greatest exponent -3

RULES for End behaviour

we have following four cases

CASE1: Even degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE2: Even degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

CASE3: Odd degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE4: Odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

Here in the given case we have odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$
