2.2 Polynomial functions higher degree

What is the degree?

• Positive

• Negative

• Odd

• Even

The degree and the sign of the leading coefficient (positive or negative) of a polynomial determines the behavior of the ends for the graph.

Determine the end behavior of this equation.

f(x) = -x⁵ - 4x +2

• As x goes to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity. As x goes to positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

• As x goes to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity. As x goes to positive infinity, y goes to negative infinity.

• As x goes to negative infinity, y goes to negative infinity. As x goes to positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

• As x goes to negative infinity, y goes to negative infinity. As x goes to positive infinity, y goes to negative infinity.

What is the end behavior for
f(x)= πx⁵-5x²

• A

• B

• C

• D

What are the zeros of the graph?

• -4, -1, 2, 1 multiplicity 2

• -4, -1, 1, 2

• 4, 1, -2, -1 multiplicity 2

• 4, 1, -1, -2

f(x)= x²(x – 2)³(x – 7)

Find and select each real zero and its multiplicity

• 0 (Mult of 2), 2 (Mult of 3), 7 (mult 1)

• 2 (Mult of 3), 7 (mult 1)

• 0, 2, 7

• 2 (mult of 2), 7 (mult of 3)

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree and the sign of the leading coefficient.
