Polynomial Attributes and Characteristics

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 the polynomial.

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.
