End Behavior

Front

What is end behavior in mathematics?

Back

End behavior describes the behavior of a function as the input values approach positive or negative infinity.

How can you determine the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Back

The end behavior of a polynomial function can be determined by the leading term's degree and its coefficient.
