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

Back

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree and the leading coefficient. If the degree is even and the leading coefficient is positive, both ends go up. If the degree is odd and the leading coefficient is positive, the left end goes down and the right end goes up.
