Question

Given the function f(x) = -12x' + 3x3 – 16+4, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in thesame direction?ObThe number of terms in the functionThe degree of the functionThe constant term of the functionThe leading coefficient of the functionOd

Answer 1

To determine the end behaviour of a function, we look at the term with the highest degree from which we determine the leading coefficient. The leading coefficient could be odd or even. Therefore, the part of the function that indicates that the left and right ends points in the same direction is

The leading coefficient of the function
