Let us generalize
our observation
End Behavior of a Function
The end behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of
the graph of f(x) as x approaches positive infinity or negative
infinity.
• the degree and the leading coefficient determine the end
behavior of the graph
• the sign of the leading coefficient is sufficient to predict the
end behavior of the function

extreme right if n is even and an > 0.
b. Comes up from the extreme left and goes down to the
extreme right if n is odd and an < 0.

extreme right if n is odd and an > 0.
