Finding the end behavior of a polynomial to the fifth degree

The video tutorial explains the concept of end behavior in polynomials, focusing on how the degree and leading coefficient determine the graph's behavior as x approaches positive or negative infinity. It covers both even and odd degree polynomials, using quadratics and cubics as examples, and discusses how to express end behavior using different notations.

What are the two main components to consider when analyzing the end behavior of a polynomial?

What is the significance of the degree of a polynomial in determining its end behavior?

How does the leading coefficient affect the end behavior of a polynomial function?

Describe the end behavior of a polynomial function with an odd degree and a positive leading coefficient.

Explain how to express end behavior using limits as x approaches infinity or negative infinity.
