  1. In other words, the end behavior of a function describes the trend of the graph if we look to the right end of the x -axis (as x approaches + ∞ ) and to the left end of the x -axis (as x approaches − ∞ ). For example, consider this graph of the polynomial function f . Notice that as you move to the right on the x -axis, the graph of f ...

  2. Worked example. First we need to identify the values for a, b, and c (the coefficients). First step, make sure the equation is in the format from above, a x 2 + b x + c = 0 : is what makes it a quadratic). Then we plug a , b , and c into the formula: solving this looks like: Therefore x = 3 or x = − 7 .

  4. With end behavior, the only term that matters with the polynomial is the one that has an exponent of largest degree. For example, if you have the polynomial 5x^4 + 12x^2 - 3x , 5x4 +12x2 −3x, only the 5x^4 5x4 matters in terms of end behavior. This term will be of the form ax^n . axn. A) When a a is positive and n n is an even number, the ...

  5. A polynomial function is a function that can be written in the form. f (x) =anxn +⋯+a2x2 +a1x+a0 f ( x) = a n x n + ⋯ + a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0. This is called the general form of a polynomial function. Each ai a i is a coefficient and can be any real number. Each product aixi a i x i is a term of a polynomial function.

  6. Describe the end behavior of f (x) = 3x7 + 5x + 1004. This polynomial is much too large for me to view in the standard screen on my graphing calculator, so either I can waste a lot of time fiddling with WINDOW options, or I can quickly use my knowledge of end behavior. This function is an odd-degree polynomial, so the ends go off in opposite ...

  7. To predict the end-behavior of a polynomial function, first check whether the function is odd-degree or even-degree function and whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative. Find the end behavior of the function x 4 − 4 x 3 + 3 x + 25 . The degree of the function is even and the leading coefficient is positive. So, the end ...
