Which one means the function goes up on the left?

Back

The function goes up on the left when x → -∞ and y → ∞.

What is the leading term of a polynomial?

Back

The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the highest degree, which determines the end behavior of the polynomial.

Front

Explain what multiplicity means in the context of polynomial zeros.

Back

Multiplicity refers to the number of times a particular zero appears in a polynomial. A zero with an even multiplicity will touch the x-axis, while a zero with an odd multiplicity will cross the x-axis.

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

Back

The end behavior will rise to infinity on both ends (as x → -∞, f(x) → ∞ and as x → ∞, f(x) → ∞).
