Choose the end behavior of the graph of each polynomial func
Solution
We know that:
1. For a polynomial of Even degree,
i) If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises both to the right and the left;
ii) If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls both to the right and the left;
2. For a polynomial of Odd degree,
i) If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph rises to the right and falls to the left;
ii) If the leading coefficient is negative, the graph falls to the right and rises to the left;
In the given question
a) The polynomial is of even degree with a positive leading coefficient. Therefore, the graph rises both to the right and the left;
b) The polynomial is of odd degree with a positive leading coefficient. Therefore, the graph rises to the right and falls to the left;
c)The polynomial is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient. Therefore, the graph falls both to the right and the left.
