Question

Which of the following could be the graph of a polynomial whose leading term is
`-3x^4`?

Answer 1

The leading coefficient is a negative value (-3) so the graph goes down on the right side.

This makes either Graph B or C correct.

Now because the degree ( exponent ) (the ^4) is even both ends of the graph go in the same direction.

This makes Graph B the correct answer.

Answer 2

The leading coefficient is a negative value (-3) so the graph goes down on the right side.

This makes either Graph B or C correct.

Now because the degree ( exponent ) (the ^4) is even both ends of the graph go in the same direction.

This makes Graph B the correct answer.
