ANSWER:

LC = 5.5 = positive

Degree = 8 = even


\begin{gathered} x\rightarrow+\infty\text{ then }P(x)\rightarrow+\infty \\ \\ x\operatorname{\rightarrow}-\infty\text{ then }P(x)\operatorname{\rightarrow}+\infty \end{gathered}

Explanation:

The leading coefficient (LC) we can see that it is positive (5.5).

While the degree is even (8).

Therefore, the behavior would be the following:


\begin{gathered} x\rightarrow+\infty\text{ then }P(x)\rightarrow+\infty \\ \\ x\operatorname{\rightarrow}-\infty\text{ then }P(x)\operatorname{\rightarrow}+\infty \end{gathered}
