Polynomial Graphs Practice

What does x tell us 

• Left and right
• Up and down

What does y tell us 

• Left and right
• Up and down

Which one means left

• x →-∞
• x →∞

Which one means up

• y →-∞
• y →∞

Which one means the function goes up on the left

• x →-∞, y→∞
• x →-∞, y→-∞

Which one means the function goes down on the left

• x →-∞, y→∞
• x →-∞, y→-∞

What is the end behavior of the function

•  x →∞, y→⁻∞ and x →⁻∞,y→⁻∞
• x →∞, y→∞ and x→⁻∞, y→∞
•  x →∞, y→∞ and x→⁻∞, y→0
• x →∞,y→∞ and x→⁻∞, y→⁻∞

What is the end behavior of the function

•  x →∞, y→∞ and x→∞, y→⁻∞
• x →∞, y→∞ and x→⁻∞, y→∞
•  x →∞, y→∞ and x→⁻∞, y→0
•  x →∞,y→∞and x→⁻∞, y→⁻∞

Describe the end behavior of the graph.

• x → ∞, y→ ∞ and
  x→ ∞, y→⁻∞
• x → ∞, y→ ∞ and
  x→⁻∞, y→∞
• None of these
• x →∞,y→⁻∞ and
  x→∞, y→⁻∞

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

• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Even
• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Odd
• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Even
• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Odd
