3.9 end

The degree of a polynomial can be determined by the largest powered monomial of the polynomial.  
What is the degree of the polynomial:
f(x) = 3x² + 4x - 5

• Degree 2  (quadratic)
• Degree 3 (cubic)
• Degree 4 (quartic)
• Degree 5 (quintic)

The degree of a polynomial can be determined by the largest powered monomial of the polynomial.  
What is the degree of the polynomial:
f(x) = -5x⁴ - 3x + 2

• Degree 2 (quadratic)
• Degree 3 (cubic)
• Degree 4 (quartic)
• Degree 5 (quintic)

The degree and the sign of the leading coefficient (positive or negative) of a polynomial determines the behavior of the ends for the graph.  
Enter the polynomial function into a graphing calculator or online graphing tool to determine the end behavior.
f(x) = 2x³ - x + 5

• Left up    Right up
• Left up   Right down
• Left down   Right up
• Left down   Right down

Determine the end behavior of the polynomial by identifying the degree and leading coefficient.

f(x) = 5x⁴ - x + 6

• UP-UP

• UP-DOWN

• DOWN-UP

• DOWN-DOWN

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