Determining the End Behavior of Polynomial Functions

This lesson covers how to determine the end behavior of polynomial functions by identifying their degree and leading coefficients. It explains the differences in end behavior between even and odd degree polynomials, and how the sign of the leading coefficient affects the graph's direction. The lesson also clarifies common misunderstandings about graph domains and applies these concepts to a volume function.

Describe the end behavior of odd degree polynomials.

How does adding a constant to a polynomial function affect its end behavior?

What can be concluded about the volume function V in relation to its leading coefficient and end behavior?
