What is the end behavior of a polynomial function with an even degree and a positive leading coefficient?

Back

As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞ and as x → -∞, f(x) → ∞.

How do you find the relative minimum of a polynomial function?

Back

To find the relative minimum, identify the critical points by setting the derivative equal to zero and analyze the second derivative.
