Given:
The degree of polynomial = 9
Leading coefficient is negative.
To find:
The end behavior of the polynomial.
Solution:
Let the polynomial be P(x).
We have,
Degree of polynomial = 9, which is odd.
Leading coefficient is negative.
If the degree of a polynomial is odd and leading coefficient is negative, then
Therefore, the end behavior of the given polynomial is .
If x is between two consecutive integers such that n ≤ x < n + 1, then the greatest integer function [x] maps x to the largest integer smaller than x so that [x] = n.
(i) If x is approaching -2 from above, that means x > -2. As x gets closer to -2, we essentially have -2 < x < -1, so that [x] will approach
(ii) However, if x is approaching -2 from below, then x < -2, so that [x] = -3. In other words
Because the one-sided limits do not match, the two-sided limit
(iii) -2.4 lies between -3 and -2, so
