End behaviorBy:Skylar Brown
What is it ?End behavior is the behavior of a graph as it reaches negative infinity or positive infinity.
Easy way to rememberTo determine the end behavior, follow these rules:
First find the following two pieces of information from the polynomial:
1) determine if the degree (highest exponent) is odd or even
2) determine if the leading coefficient is positive or negative
*The way to remember is to think of the quadratic (degree = even) and the cubic (degree = odd). Use those simple graphs to remember what the end behavior does.
Degree=odd, leading coefficient = +
Degree=odd, leading coefficient= -
Degree=even, leading coefficient = +
Degree=even, leading coefficient= -
