Answer:
when highest degree is odd and leading coefficient is negative then the graph goes upward to the left and goes downward on the right
Explanation:
ƒ(x) = –x^5 – 4x^4 + 7x^2 – 2
given function has leading exponent 5. Highest degree is 5 that is an odd number.
the leading coefficient is -1 because we have -x^5
when highest degree is odd and leading coefficient is negative then the graph goes upward to the left and goes downward on the right
