Finding end behavior of a polynomial not in standard form

What is the first step in identifying the behavior of a polynomial?

• Determine the roots of the polynomial

• Write the polynomial expression

• Calculate the derivative

• Find the y-intercept

How do you determine if a leading coefficient is significant?

• By checking if it is zero

• By determining if it is positive or negative

• By finding its absolute value

• By comparing it to the constant term

What does an odd degree indicate about a polynomial's behavior?

• The polynomial is symmetric

• The polynomial has a constant rate of change

• The polynomial's ends go in opposite directions

• The polynomial has no real roots

What does it mean when a polynomial 'rises left and falls right'?

• The polynomial is decreasing

• The polynomial is increasing

• The polynomial has an even degree and positive leading coefficient

• The polynomial has an odd degree and negative leading coefficient

How is the end behavior of a polynomial expressed using limits?

• By determining the y-intercept

• By describing the function as x approaches infinity

• By calculating the integral

• By finding the derivative
