Question

Choose the end behavior of the graph of each polynomial function

Answer 1

Answer:

  D, A, B

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign of the leading coefficient always tells you the end behavior on the right: positive = rises; negative = falls.

The degree of the polynomial tells you how the left- and right-end behaviors compare: even = they are the same; odd = they are opposites.

__

A) negative leading coefficient, even degree:

• falls to the left, falls to the right (D)

__

B) positive leading coefficient, odd degree:

• falls to the left, rises to the right (A)

__

C) negative leading coefficient, odd degree

• rises to the left, falls to the right (B)
