Question

What can we conclude if, in general, the graph of a polynomial function exhibits the

following end behavior? As x → -00, f(x) → -- and as x > 0, f(x) →.
The polynomial function is of even degree and the leading coefficient is positive.
The polynomial function is of odd degree and the leading coefficient is negative.
The polynomial function is of odd degree and the leading coefficient is positive.
The polynomial function is of even degree and the leading coefficient is negative.

Answer 1

There's missing information. What does f(x) approach as x approaches negative infinity and infinity?

Answer 2

1st answer: The polynomial function for this graph is of

odd degree and the leading coefficient is negative

2nd answer: The polynomial function for this graph is of even

degree and the leading coefficient is negative
