Learn how to find the end behavior given a graph of a polynomial

The video tutorial discusses the end behavior of polynomials, focusing on how to determine the degree and leading coefficient. It explains that polynomials with an odd degree and a positive leading coefficient will have a consistent end behavior of falling left and rising right. The tutorial also covers how to relate turning points to the degree of a polynomial, emphasizing that the number of turning points is one less than the degree. The key takeaway is that regardless of the complexity of the graph, the end behavior remains predictable for polynomials with these characteristics.
