Solution
5) f(x) = -x4+x10
As x approaches infinity, we are looking at end behaviour of this polynomial
For this we look at leading term coefficient.The leading term here is x^10 that is highest degree term and degree of this polynomial is 10 so even degree polynomial
Now x10 = 1.x10 => coefficient of x10 is 1 and 1 >0
For even degree polynomial , if the leading coefficient is positive, both the ends are up
hence as x approaches -inifnity, the function f(x) approaches infnity
6) g(x) = -x4+x11
Degree of this polynomial is 11 and coefficient of x11 =1>0
In case of odd degree polynomial, the ends go in opposite directions and if leading coefficient is positive, then as x approaches -infinity, the polynomial goes to -infinity
Hence as x aproaches -inifnity, the g(x) approaches -infinity
