End Behavior Practice

Front

What is end behavior in a graph?

Back

End behavior describes the behavior of a graph as the input values (x) approach positive or negative infinity.

Front

As x approaches -∞, if f(x) approaches DOWN, what is the end behavior?

Back

The end behavior is DOWN.

Front

As x approaches +∞, if f(x) approaches UP, what is the end behavior?

Back

The end behavior is UP.

Front

What does it mean if a function has end behavior DOWN DOWN?

Back

It means that as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches DOWN, and as x approaches +∞, f(x) also approaches DOWN.

Front

What is the end behavior of a function with a degree of 4?

Back

If the leading coefficient is positive, the end behavior is UP UP; if negative, it is DOWN DOWN.

Front

What is the end behavior of a function with a degree of 5?

Back

If the leading coefficient is positive, the end behavior is DOWN UP; if negative, it is UP DOWN.

Front

Identify the end behavior: f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 4x + 1.

Back

The end behavior is UP UP.

Front

Identify the end behavior: f(x) = -x^3 + 2x^2 + 3.

Back

The end behavior is UP DOWN.

Front

What is the degree of the function f(x) = 8x^5 - 9x^4 + 7x^2?

Back

The degree is 5, which is odd.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in determining end behavior?

Back

The leading coefficient determines whether the ends of the graph go up or down.
