Determine the end behavior and degree of a polynomial graph

What is the first step in determining the end behavior of a graph?

• Use the leading coefficient test

• Observe the graph's direction

• Calculate the derivative

• Find the x-intercepts

As x approaches negative infinity, what happens to the output coordinates if the graph rises?

• They approach negative infinity

• They oscillate

• They remain constant

• They approach positive infinity

How is the end behavior of a graph expressed mathematically?

• As x approaches infinity

• With a polynomial equation

• Using the derivative

• Through a table of values

How many zeros does the graph have if there are five x-intercepts?

• Three

• Four

• Six

• Five

What does an odd number of roots indicate about the degree of the function?

• The degree is undefined

• The degree is zero

• It is an odd degree function

• It is an even degree function
