Answer:
You need to bring the function to the standard form.
The term with highest degree exponent is the leading term and its coefficient is the leading coefficient.
Let it be axⁿ.
Depending on the n and a, the end behavior of the function will change.
Case 1
- a > 0, n - is odd
This is an odd function and:
- x → -∞ ⇒ f(x) → -∞
- x → ∞ ⇒ f(x) → ∞
Case 2
- a < 0, n - is odd
This is an odd function and:
- x → -∞ ⇒ f(x) → ∞
- x → ∞ ⇒ f(x) → -∞
Case 3
- a > 0, n - is even
This is an even function and:
- x → -∞ ⇒ f(x) ⇒ ∞
- x → ∞ ⇒ f(x) ⇒ ∞
Case 4
- a < 0, n - is even
This is an even function and:
- x → - ∞ ⇒ f(x) ⇒ - ∞
- x → ∞ ⇒ f(x) ⇒ - ∞
