Even Degree Polynomial End Behavior

• Rises on the left and right

• Rises on left, falls on right

• Falls on the left, rises on the right

• Falls on the left and right

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree and the sign of the leading coefficient.
Identify the degree of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient 

• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Even

• Leading Coefficient Positive
  Degree - Odd

• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Even

• Leading Coefficient Negative
  Degree - Odd

• The leading coefficient is positive.

• The highest degree is even.

• The leading coefficient is negative.

Describe the end behavior:

Determine the end behavior of the graph of 
f(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x - 5

• As x →∞, f(x) →∞.
  As x→-∞, f(x) →-∞.

• As x →∞, f(x) →∞.
  As x→-∞, f(x) →∞.

• As x →∞, f(x) →-∞.
  As x→-∞, f(x) →∞.

• As x →∞, f(x) →-∞.
  As x→-∞, f(x) →-∞.

Describe the end behavior of the graph.

• x →+∞, y→⁻∞ and x →⁻∞,y→⁻∞

• x →+∞, y→+∞ and x→⁻∞, y→+∞
