Question

Without using technology, describe the end behavior of f(x) = 3x32 + 8x2 − 22x + 43. (2 points)​

Answer 1

This function is an even-degree polynomial, so the ends go off in the same directions, just like every quadratic I've ever graphed. Since the leading coefficient of this even-degree polynomial is positive, the ends came in and left out the top of the picture, just like every positive quadratic you've ever graphed. All even-degree polynomials behave, on their ends, like quadratics.
