Master Determining the the end behavior of a polynomial by using the leading coefficient test

The video tutorial explains how to identify the end behavior of polynomial functions using the leading coefficient test. It covers the importance of arranging polynomials in descending order and determining the degree and leading coefficient. Through examples, the video demonstrates how to predict end behavior based on whether the degree is odd or even and whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative. The tutorial also emphasizes the use of interval notation and the importance of memorizing the leading coefficient test for effective analysis.
