How to find end behavior of a polynomial by identifying the degree and leading coefficient

The video tutorial explains how to identify the end behavior of polynomials. It begins by instructing students to write polynomials in standard form, with powers in descending order. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the degree and leading coefficient, focusing on whether the degree is even or odd and if the leading coefficient is positive or negative. The end behavior is determined based on these factors, with examples provided to illustrate the concept. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
